Lee Adams, Northern Melbourne & surrounds, VIC (posted 11th March) Qualified Vet Nurse

Qualified Veterinary Nurse seeking employment

My name is Lee Adams, and I am a qualified veterinary nurse who has recently completed my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing. I have experience working in fast-paced, busy general practices as a surgical nurse, consult nurse and receptionist.

I am an organised and punctual person by nature, and I have an open-minded attitude and a willingness to learn when on the job. Working in fast-paced clinics has given me the ability to work effectively and efficiently under high-stress situations, and I am able to diffuse tense or stressful circumstances between both colleagues and clients.

I have been working in general practice clinics for the last three years, and am looking for a new clinic to hopefully stay for a long time! Ideally I am looking for somewhere easily accessible by public transport in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, but for the right clinic I am willing to travel.

If you believe I would be a good fit for your clinic, I’d love to hear from you!

Kind regards,
Lee Adams

Are you in need of a helping hand at your clinic? Maybe you are experiencing a busy period or are on the hunt for a permanent nurse and need someone to fill some shifts in the meantime. 

I am currently living the van life with my 9 year old border collie, Evie, and we are looking for work Australia-wide as we make our way around the country. 

I am Cert IV qualified with over 10 years of experience, have worked in GP & Emergency, large hospitals and small clinics. I have spent much of my career focused on surgery and anaesthesia but am competent in all areas of vet nursing including nurse consults and reception. I am very much a team player but also work well independently. I have a love for mentoring the next generation of nurses and providing the best possible care for our patients and clients, building long lasting relationships.

Please contact me via email: rachael.trease@gmail.com if you would like a copy of my resume or have any questions.

Megan MacLeod, Perth WA (posted 27th February) Experienced & Qualified UK RCVS Vet Nurse

Qualification - RVN, registered with Veterinary Practice Board WA and UK RCVS

Hello, I am an experienced RVN who graduated in 2021, with a further 5 years experience in a busy GP clinic prior to qualifying. I am currently working in a busy emergency and referral 24 hour hospital in Queensland but will be making a move to Perth at the start of April to be closer to family. I have experience in all aspects of nursing and have worked with small animals, equine, large animals, and wildlife, both in private clinics and NGO’s. I am RECOVER CPR advanced life support certified and have an Advanced Programme VNZES - Zoo Animals certification with City and Guilds.

I am currently on a working holiday visa, this allows me to work at a single location for up to six months, however it is easy to apply for an extension due to shortage of veterinary nurses, as I have done at my current practice, so I would be interested in full time staff relief work/maternity cover, casual positions, or full time. I can be available weekdays and weekends for day and night shifts. I am used to night rotas and have previously worked night shifts/on call as the only nurse on duty, so I am comfortable with sole charge, but love working as part of a team. I have experience with robovet, ezyvet, and smartflow, and pick up new softwares quickly.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, I am happy to send over my CV and references.

Amanda Sykes, Northern Suburbs Brisbane / Rosewood, QLD (posted 25th February) Trainee Cert IV VN

(Completing Cert IV) - 8 years experience
Looking for Locum, Part Time or Casual Vet Nurse role.
Also considering a Permanent Part Time or hybrid Nurse Manager or Practice Manager role.

Hello! I am a mature and dedicated veterinary nurse currently looking for new opportunities within veterinary clinics in the northern suburbs of North Brisbane or near Rosewood.

My journey has been an interesting one, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted my ability to complete my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing as my college lost its certification. However, I am currently completing my studies through AIRC and am eagerly awaiting my RPL training plan.

With extensive experience gained from working in a high-volume community clinic, multiple general practice clinics, emergency veterinary services, and a natural alternative clinic, I have developed a well-rounded skill set. My exposure includes various surgical procedures such as BOAS surgeries, general surgery, emergency cases, and cesarean sections. I also have a passion for neonatal care, which I find particularly rewarding.

I pride myself on being reliable, honest, and adaptable. I enjoy working with behavioral cases and have a proven track record of building positive connections with clients, especially those with fearful or anxious pets.

My previous career as a project manager equips me with excellent organizational skills; I hold a Certificate IV in Project Management and take pleasure in writing processes and procedures that enhance clinic efficiency.

Currently, I manage 170 volunteers and an administrative team for an animal rescue group that I founded seven years ago, which has provided me with significant leadership and management experience.

In addition to my veterinary skills, I am proficient with Ezyvet and BeFree software and have familiarity with Rx Works and various radiography systems.

With seven cats of my own, I have a deep understanding of various breeds, behaviors, and the distinct challenges and joys they bring, which has further cemented my commitment to animal welfare and behavior.

My approach to veterinary nursing is characterized by positivity, confidence, and a strong desire to share knowledge. I am passionate about mentoring junior staff and fostering an encouraging team environment.

I am on the lookout for that "unicorn clinic" — a place where I can truly call home and contribute my skills and passion. If you believe your clinic embodies this vision, I would love to hear from you!
Thank you for considering my application!

Thanks for reading!
