We are in need of one more important member of the Northfield Vet Clinic nursing team.
You will need to be an experienced veterinary nurse with a Certificate IV qualification (or 5+ years vet nursing experience) and sound surgical nursing skills. We are a team who love our jobs, care for each other, hold each other to high standards and have each other's back – we know how important working as a team is to make sure our days go smoothly and responsibilities are shared – so we can all go home and switch off properly at the end of each day. Our hunt is for a team member for whom these values ring true and who is looking for a long term position amongst a great group of people – heads up we like to hang on to our team mates for the long haul!
We currently have between 15-20 hours per week available on the roster, but more or less hours may be negotiated for the right person. Additional hours will be available to help cover staff leave. Rostering can be flexible – helping out on a once per month Saturday morning roster is anticipated and would be greatly appreciated by the team (it’s a short shift – we close the doors at 11am).
Questions? Want to find out more? Don’t hesitate to get in touch at: admin@northfieldvetclinic.com.au (ATT: Dr Bel).
We welcome you to come visit us and see what we’re all about – call Elisabeth Brady on (08) 8262 6325 to arrange a casual visit.
All resumes to be delivered in person to 56 Briens Road Northfield or emailed (see above) if you're short on time but still keen to apply.
There’s a perfect place for every nurse… are we that place for you?
