Why work for us?
You will see many job ads that describe their culture and try to convince you to join their team.
Instead, in our last staff meeting we asked the team, and this is exactly what they said:
“When faced with so many opportunities for negativity in our industry, what makes Ark Vet different is that our team focuses on remaining positive. We work hard; not just out of necessity, but because we all have such a passion for what we do. We see this reflected in our commitment to our patients and how we ensure every client has the best possible customer experience.”
- We aren’t perfect – sometimes we have challenging days and challenging clients

- What we do have is grit and passion
Ark Vet Hospital is a long established, independent vet practice that offers premium standards of care to a dedicated client base. Our small but dynamic team thrives on going above and beyond to keep pets healthy and owners educated and happy.

- Hold teamwork in the highest regard
- Clinical competence in assisting with complex medical and surgical cases
- Enjoy building rapport and getting to know our regular clients

- Roster consists of a 4 day week with rotating Saturdays 8am-3pm (typically one a month)
- Above award pay
- Continued education and support to develop your nursing skills
- Convenient location next to Lindfield train station
Don’t hesitate to also give our hospital a ring and speak to any of the staff and ask them what they think. To get you started, some of our newest recruits shared their thoughts about joining our team:
“From the first day I walked in the door as a newbie to the industry, the Ark team has made me feel welcome, valued and encouraged. Every day presents an opportunity to further our skills, put what we know into practice and deliver the best possible care for our clients and patients.” – Vet Nurse Steph
“It's been a pleasure to work at the Ark Vet Hospital. Each person has a strong work ethic and incredible sense of comradery. We also have wonderful clients that come from far and wide, which is a testament to the team and the service we provide.” – Vet Nurse Ray

FULL TIME VET NURSE REQUIRED SMALL ANIMAL PENRITH, SYDNEY
ATTENTION VET NURSES!!! Are you in Sydney and looking for a better job? Is your current work place unfriendly or unsupportive?
We would like to help you. At the base of the beautiful Blue Mountains is Penrith Veterinary Hospital, a family owned hospital with over twenty vets, nurses and receptionists that have worked together for many years. Over half of our staff have been with us for over 10 years.
Our practice has been established for 50 years, proudly building a loyal and caring client base. We are a busy small animal hospital that strives to provide the best care for our patients. We have eight vets with over 120 years of veterinary experience proficient in surgery, radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy, high end medicine and many other disciplines. We have all of the usual machines to play with including a newly acquired arthroscopy unit. Our hospital physically doubled in size in 2013 and provides a hospital to be proud of in both size and presentation.
What is the advantage of being a family owned practice? Your focus can be on best patient and client care, not on having sales targets and processes to ensure you sell people things they don't need.
