Animal Referral Hospital Baulkham Hills, Sydney (posted 19th October)
Vet Nurse
Baulkham Hills NSW
We have Lurelle. Lurelle is our discharge nurse, and so much more! Lurelle is moving far away. We asked Lurelle to drive 10 hours to work each day, just so she can stay. She can’t.
So, we need a new Lurelle.
The Animal Referral Hospital Baulkham Hills is looking for the next person who will love our hospital the way Lurelle has.
The discharge nurse’s primary role is to assist and facilitate the discharge of overnight patients to either home, their regular vet or to our specialist hospital not too far away.
Hospital maintenance is the next big focus - it is a physical role, with a focus on repair and preparing the space from the night that was and the night that will be. You need to have a passion for cleaning.
There’s other stuff too - continuing relationships with our local GP’s, lab equipment maintenance, keeping on top of our heaven folder and some admin stuff like ensuring X-rays are attached and histories are sent.
The role is Monday-Friday, 7am-1pm (ish) - some days you can leave a little earlier and others you might stay a little longer. Open to looking at this being a shared role but would prefer consistency with the roster.
There’s a little bit of nursing involved (i.e., early morning emergency’s) but this role is not a primary nursing role.
Want to know more? Drop me a line at m.sorrenson@arhvets.com
I look forward to hearing from you - Michelle Sorrenson.

The Wild Vet Animal Hospital, Glebe, (posted 14th October)
Full Time Veterinary Nurse – Immediate start available
About Us
The Wild Vet is an exotics and small animal hospital based in Glebe, just across the road from the beautiful Blackwattle Bay foreshore walk. We see an enormous variety of domestic pets, from cats and dogs to rabbits, parrots, pythons, fish, and dragons (bearded and water, not Targaryen). With frequent wildlife care on top of our routine consults and cases, no two days are the same.
The Wild Vet is not your average vet hospital. If you’re looking to be a part of a team that cares for possums, lorikeets, and bin chickens as much as the frequent flyer french bulldog, you’re in the right place! We are environmentally focused, strive to provide gold standards of care for all of our patients, and our team is close knit with an emphatic (but not necessarily high quality) radio sing-along not out of the ordinary.
With one of our nurses moving to her specialist hospital dream role, we’re now after an experienced and patient-focused vet nurse to join our gaggle of four vets, six nurses, plenty of staff animals, and one practice manager. As a bonus (and for a bit of peace of mind), all of our staff are double vaxxed and we ensure that we’re following strict Covid protocols, even as Sydney relaxes those pesky restrictions.
About The Role
You will be joining our team as a permanent full-time nurse working a 38 hour week across four weekdays with paid lunch breaks. This also means you have perma-long weekends with every Monday rostered off. This role will be focused on gold standards of patient care, and you will be working in a team that has a varied caseload, with a strong emphasis on wildlife care and treatment. We have all the usual toys – ultrasound, digital DR x-ray, cautery, suction, endoscopy, dental x-ray – so you can rest assured your patients are getting the very best care and equipment available to them.
The key roles and responsibilities for this role include:
- Surgical nursing, with a high standard of anaesthetic monitoring, including exotic and wildlife patients
- Medical nursing, including scheduled treatments, phlebotomy and catheter placement
- Experience (or a keen willingness to learn) with exotics patients, including lizards, snakes, birds, and rabbits
- Cleaning and packing surgical kits and instruments
- Nurse consultations, including dental checks, nutrition consultations, and new pet checks
- Use of Smart Flow to assess and document patient care
- Diagnostic testing using in-house Abaxis and Idexx equipment
- Admission and discharge of patients
- Excellent time management and organisational skills
- Ability to triage tasks and patients
- General organisation of the clinic
- High standard of personal presentation and punctuality
- Experience with Ezy Vet preferred
About You
You are "THAT" nurse.
You know, the one that goes the extra mile for their patients, and cares about every single one as if they were their own pet. The nurse that looks forward to work in the morning because this is what they live and breathe.
You’ve got your Cert IV in nursing along with at least three years’ experience under your belt, and you’re looking for a clinic that prioritises the care of every animal that walks/slithers/bounds through the door. You may not have a heap of experience with exotics, but it’s something that interests and excites you! You want to find a team that has a great sense of humour, gets along with one another, and delivers awesome patient care. You’ve worked with EzyVet before (or are keen to learn the ropes), and your client communication is top notch, as you’re comfortable answering the phone and giving patient updates to pet parents on the daily. You have a bright personality and a smile on your face even when the day gets a bit hectic. You prioritise excellent customer service, and work efficiently in a team as well as showing initiative when working alone.
This amazing role is ready to fill immediately, but we are happy to be patient for the perfect candidate. Salary will be commensurate with experience. We politely ask that only applicants who have received two doses of Covid vaccine (or are awaiting their second shot) apply.
If this sounds like your dream role, send your CV and a cover letter to our practice manager, Liz Garling, at: admin@thewildvet.com.au
