Capital Veterinary Hospital · Canberra, ACT · Full-time (part-time considered)

Are you a veterinary nurse who loves the people side of practice?

We're looking for an experienced nurse to join our Client Relations team — someone who wants to use their clinical knowledge, communication skills and passion for animal care in a new and rewarding way.

About us

"I have a dream: that one day, every person working in the veterinary profession can say, 'I love my job.'" — Dr Ali Ashrafi, Founder

That belief sits at the heart of Capital Vet. Our four pillars are our colleagues, our patients, our clients and our hospital. When our people feel safe, supported and valued, they deliver exceptional care for patients and an exceptional experience for the people who love them.

We're a close-knit team built on trust, communication, collaboration and continuous improvement. We're proud to be a Lincoln Institute Accredited Employer of Choice and winner of the Lincoln Institute Australia's Best Led Practice Award.

About the role

This is a role where your clinical experience really matters. You'll use what you already know to build trust, explain complex information and help clients feel confident about their pet's care.

You will:

- Educate clients on preventative healthcare
- Help clients navigate treatment options and feel confident in their next steps
- Work closely with our vets and nurses to ensure continuity of care
- Support client enquiries, appointment coordination and the smooth running of the hospital

It's a great fit for a nurse who wants to keep making a difference beyond the treatment room.

What we offer

- Permanent full-time position (part-time considered for the right candidate)
- Staff discounts on veterinary care for your own pets




- External HR support and an Employee Assistance Program
- Regular learning and career development opportunities
- Enrolment in the Lincoln Institute's Emerging Leaders Program
- A management team committed to leadership development and a positive culture

Who we're looking for

An experienced veterinary nurse who genuinely enjoys people. You can read a room, handle hard conversations with warmth, stay calm under pressure and make clients feel they're in good hands.

You’ll bring:

- Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing (or equivalent)
- Previous experience in a veterinary hospital
- Robust understanding of veterinary workflows, treatments and preventative healthcare
- Excellent communication and client care skills
- Confidence supporting pet owners through challenging situations
- A positive, team-focused attitude
