Job Description
Senior Veterinary Nurse – Full Time or Part Time
n
Independent Practice | High-Performing Team | Genuine Professional Development
n
Location: Park Ridge Animal Hospital & Browns Plains Surgery
n
Hours: Flexible – Full Time or Part Time
n
Are you the kind of nurse who enjoys working collaboratively, loves the buzz of surgery, and finds joy in helping clients care for their pets?
n
Would you thrive surrounded by a team that genuinely cares about the patients, the people, and each other?
n
If you're nodding, Park Ridge Animal Hospital might be your kind of clinic.
n
With two practices, a diverse caseload and a team of more than 50 people, we can offer the clinical variety and resources of a larger hospital while retaining the culture and personal approach of an independently owned practice.
n
What You'll Be Doing:
n
n
Nurse Consults: Synovan injections, SR12s, post-op checks, nail trims, anal glands, preventative healthcare and triage
n
Surgical Nursing: Anaesthetics for routine, complex, and emergency cases with training in capnography, ECGs, CRIs as well as dental radiography and routine dental care.
n
Medical Nursing: From the straightforward to the "how is this patient still alive?" cases and everything in between.
n
Client Communication: Educating, supporting, and building trust with pet owners to help clients feel confident in the care their pets are receiving.
n
Veterinarian Support: Be their right hand, their left hand, and occasionally their brain...
n
n
What We Offer:
n
n
positive, values-driven culture where humour, respect, trust, and teamwork are lived daily
n
We're an independently owned and operated practice, allowing us to make decisions locally and focus on what works for our patients, clients and team.
n
A large,



supportive team of 51 (including customer care, nurses, vets, kennel assistants, and a cleaner—yes, really)
n
Two locations to mix up your week: a larger hospital in Park Ridge and a smaller surgery in Browns Plains
n
Structured systems and documented procedures so you're never left guessing
n
All the gear: ultrasound, dental x-rays, capnograph, infusion pumps, patient heating, and more
n
Flexible hours: we are open to both full-time and part time applicants, with positions available up to 38 hours per week and approximately one weekend in six. We're happy to discuss what working arrangement suits you!
n
n
Mentoring, check-ins, and CPD
n
We want our nurses to continue developing throughout their careers and not simply repeat the skills they already have.
n
You'll have access to ongoing mentoring, regular check‐ins, continuing professional development and opportunities to build your clinical confidence and knowledge.
n
Who You Are:
n
n
A qualified vet nurse with at least 2 years' experience who loves client engagement, clinical excellence, and team collaboration
n
Someone who enjoys using and continuing to develop their clinical nursing skills to communicate confidently and compassionately and takes pride in delivering a high standard of patient care
n
A nurse who brings emotional intelligence, resilience, and a sense of humour to every shift
n
A team player who thrives in a structured, kind, and high-performing environment
n
n
Remuneration:
n
n
$***** per Hour - We are happy to discuss a remuneration package to reflect your experience and skill
n
Generous staff discount policy to assist with the care of your pets
