- Work with an amazing team
- Lots of training and support
- High patient involvement
JCUVet is the Veterinary Teaching Hospital for James Cook University, providing clinical teaching to veterinary students in our small animal General Practice and Referral Hospital. Our GP is unique in that it is part of the teaching hospital and has access to a large range of resources and equipment.
We seek to appoint two experienced and enthusiastic full time permanent Veterinary Nurses to provide nursing support to our team of GP Veterinarians and contribute to the development of initiatives such as environmental enrichment practices and nursing Clinics (e.g., weight management, arthritis management, puppy socialization). A full time veterinary nurse can either work four longer days per week or five days per week.
Due to workflow, our preference is to appointment two full time veterinary nurses, however we can alternatively consider the appointment of part time veterinary nurses provided that such individuals are able to work no less than three full days per week on an ongoing basis. Hours will either be 7.30am – 6.00pm or 8.00am – 6.30pm or thereabouts.
Imagine being co-located with an animal teaching hospital, surrounded by experienced veterinary clinicians, visiting specialists, a radiographer and likeminded nurses who practice at advanced levels and use contemporary clinical techniques and modern equipment.
We encourage our nurses to pursue their professional interests such as shadow placements to hone their clinical skills in surgery, medicine, anaesthesia, or critical care. We are happy to progress you through to referral disciplines in due course as part of your career development.
You will be supported and assisted by Trainee Nurses undergoing a structured Trainee Nurse program guided by our Nurse Educator, and Animal Nursing Assistants. Only from time to time you might briefly relieve our veterinary receptionists, leaving you more time to focus on what you love best – clinical practice.
In addition to the above, we offer you:
- Competitive pay and different options for the working week
- A vibrant and friendly team and regular social events
- The opportunity to share your knowledge with student vets and nurses
- A supported probation period
- Annual Continuing Education (CE) Allowance
- Free membership to Vet Education
- Nurse CPD nights, Weekly Learning Hour and Hospital Culture Days
- Recover CPR training
- Discounted veterinary treatments and products
- Access to an Employee Assistance Program
- An affordable and tropical destination to explore outside of work
If you hold a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing with recent GP nursing experience, or alternatively have extensive contemporary GP nursing experience (with no Cert IV), then this role will excite you. We would also be happy to have you visit and observe our practice if you would like, or if you are not located in Townsville we could conduct a guided video tour with you.
