Love building relationships with clients and being an integral part of the patient journey?
Greencross Vets Williamstown is seeking an experienced Certificate IV Veterinary Nurse to join our team on a part-time basis, with hours open to discussion for the right candidate.
This opportunity is ideal for a nurse who enjoys working closely with both clients and veterinarians, thrives in a consult-focused environment, and is passionate about delivering exceptional patient care through communication, education, and relationship-building.
While you'll still utilise your nursing skills, this role is less focused on surgical nursing and more centred around nurse consulting, client care, patient advocacy, and supporting veterinarians throughout the consultation process.
We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with people, creating positive client experiences, and helping pets and their families receive the very best care.
Why Greencross Williamstown?
You'll be joining a clinic with depth, stability, and genuine clinical leadership.
Our Veterinary Director brings experience across emergency, specialty, and general practice and is currently undertaking advanced training in small animal medicine.
They actively mentor veterinarians and support the development of individual special interests within the clinic.
As a multi-vet clinic, you'll work alongside experienced veterinarians who value collaborative care and recognise the important role nurses play in patient outcomes and client communication.
Regular team meetings and case discussions are part of our culture, ensuring everyone feels supported, heard, and continuously developing.
We're also located close to Greencross Veterinary Hospital (GVH), providing access to specialist support and referral services when needed.
One of the exciting initiatives recently introduced across Greencross is Care Before Contact, a program designed to create safer, lower-stress experiences for our patients, pet parents, and teams.
Developed in collaboration with two of Australia's leading veterinary behavioural medicine specialists,



Dr Kersti Seksel and Dr Jacqui Ley, the program reinforces our commitment to fear-free, patient-centred care and supports proactive strategies that improve the wellbeing of both pets and the people who care for them.
For nurses who enjoy client communication, patient advocacy, behaviour-focused handling, and building strong relationships with pet owners, this initiative aligns perfectly with the consultative, team-based approach we continue to develop at Williamstown.
Most importantly, we're an inclusive, team-focused workplace where people genuinely enjoy working together.
We have an experienced nursing and administration team who support one another every day, celebrate successes together, and make sure nobody goes without coffee, snacks, or encouragement on busy days.
