Head Veterinary Nurse | Montrose Veterinary Centre | Tasmania

Are you an experienced veterinary nurse ready to take the next step in your career? Montrose Veterinary Centre is looking for an enthusiastic Head Veterinary Nurse to join our leadership team and help shape the future of our large, busy and varied hospital.

Why Montrose?

We see a diverse caseload with a strong focus on orthopaedics, surgery, hospitalisation and rehabilitation. You’ll work alongside experienced vets and nurses, support complex cases and have plenty of opportunities to learn and develop. We’re also proud of our safety-net program, helping ensure patients receive the care they need when experiencing financial difficult

Your role

As Head Nurse, you’ll combine hands‑on clinical nursing with genuine leadership and influence. You’ll have the opportunity to:

- Lead, mentor and develop our nursing team

- Help coordinate hospital and surgical cases
- Develop our orthopaedic, hospital and rehabilitation nursing
- Drive staff training and career development

More than a nursing role





We’re not looking for someone to simply fill a position. We’re looking for someone who wants to build something. If you have ideas about improving patient care, developing your team or making the hospital a better place to work, we want to hear them. You’ll have the autonomy and support to take ownership and make a genuine difference.

- Is an experienced veterinary nurse ready for their next challenge
- Has strong clinical skills and a passion for patient care
- Enjoys a busy, varied hospital environment
- Has an interest in surgery, orthopaedics and/or rehabilitation
- Loves mentoring and developing others
- Has strong communication and organisational skills
