Job Description
Experienced Veterinary Nurse / Veterinary Technician
Experienced Veterinary Nurse / Veterinary Technician
Rouse Hill Family Vets | Full Time
We've recently welcomed our sixth veterinarian, and as our hospital grows, we're looking for another experienced Veterinary Nurse or Veterinary Technician to join our team.
We're an independent small animal hospital, a Fear Free Certified Practice and an ISFM Gold Cat Friendly Clinic.
We care about high standards, genuine teamwork, clear systems and helping good people keep developing.
This won't suit every nurse — and that's okay.
We're looking for someone who wants to do good work, take ownership and keep getting better.
You'll probably thrive here if you:
Take initiative and follow things through
Like knowing what's expected of you
Are comfortable receiving feedback and acting on it
Can take direction professionally and raise concerns respectfully
Enjoy working closely with vets, nurses and client care
Ask questions when you're unsure
Enjoy clients as well as patients
Care about doing things properly
What nursing looks like here
Our nurses are an active part of the clinical team.
We use a team-based consult model, so nurses often start consults, gather information, prepare the patient and client for the vet, and help conclude the consult by reinforcing the plan and organising next steps.
You'll also be involved in anaesthesia, surgery, IV catheter placement and blood collection, radiography, pathology, hospital care, nurse consults and client education.
We want nurses who think,



communicate and participate in patient care — not simply wait for the next task.
How we work
We use clear workflows, checklists and agreed systems because they help people do positive work consistently.
Every team member has a monthly 1:1 focused on feedback, development and next steps, and we set aside time every Wednesday for team training and meetings.
Our senior nurses, team leads and vets are taught how to coach and support the people around them.
We're also a neurodiversity-friendly workplace, with practical systems designed to reduce unnecessary friction and make it easier for people to succeed.
We invest heavily in our people.
In return, we expect ownership, reliability, follow-through, professional communication and a willingness to act on feedback.
About you
You'll need:
Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing OR a Veterinary Technology degree
At least 2 years' veterinary nursing experience
Confidence with routine anaesthesia monitoring
IV catheter placement and blood collection
Surgical and hospital patient care
Radiography and in-house pathology
Confidence communicating with clients
What you'll receive
From $34/hour, depending on experience and capability
Formal remuneration review within 6 months
Structured onboarding
Monthly 1:1s and regular feedback
Weekly team training
Paid continuing education and study leave
Paid Fear Free Certification
Quarterly team activities
Public holidays off
Christmas–New Year closure
Opportunities to grow with the hospital
