At SASH, we believe the highest standards in veterinary care are achieved when clinical expertise is delivered by compassionate, motivated people in a caring and supportive environment. Inspired by the special bond between animals and people, we constantly strive to help pets, and their families live their best life.

Our Adelaide hospital is once again welcoming GP nurses to join our Specialty Veterinary Nurse program, designed to:

- Provide an understanding of a multidisciplinary referral and emergency hospital with on-the-job training.
- Build on your current knowledge and skill set while developing a deeper understanding of the specific roles and responsibilities within a specialist hospital setting.
- Facilitate the transition from supervised to independent specialist nursing.
- Prepare you for future potential full-time or part-time employment in a specialist hospital.

This is a fantastic opportunity for general practice nurses to join our team for an 18-month period and expand on your foundational knowledge and skills in our referral and emergency settings.

As part of the program, you will rotate through our medicine, surgery, neurology, hospital care and emergency and critical care departments.

These 4-week rotational blocks allow you to immerse yourself in the department, encouraging you to step outside of your comfort zone, challenge yourself and immerge from the program with a wealth of knowledge and skills.



You will work alongside highly skilled nurses, vets and specialist vets who will all have a hand in supporting your training along the way.
