Experienced Veterinary Nurse / Veterinary Technician
Rouse Hill Family Vets | Full Time

n

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.

n

We’re an independent small animal hospital, a Fear Free Certified Practice and an ISFM Gold Cat Friendly Clinic .

n

We care about high standards, genuine teamwork, clear systems and helping positive people keep developing.

n

This won’t suit every nurse — and that’s okay.

n

We’re looking for someone who wants to do good work, take ownership and keep getting better.

You’ll probably thrive here if you: n

n
- n

Take initiative and follow things through

n
- n

Like knowing what’s expected of you

n
- n

Are comfortable receiving feedback and acting on it

n
- n

n
- n

Ask questions when you’re unsure

n
- n

Enjoy clients as well as patients

n
- n

Care about doing things properly

n

What nursing looks like here n

Our nurses are an active part of the clinical team.

n

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.

n

You’ll also be involved in anaesthesia, surgery, IV catheter placement and blood collection, radiography, pathology, hospital care, nurse consults and client education.

n

We want nurses who think,



communicate and participate in patient care — not simply wait for the next task.

How we work n

We use clear workflows, checklists and agreed systems because they help people do good work consistently.

n

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.

n

Our senior nurses, team leads and vets are taught how to coach and support the people around them.

n

We’re also a neurodiversity-friendly workplace , with practical systems designed to reduce unnecessary friction and make it easier for people to succeed.

n

We invest heavily in our people. In return, we expect ownership, reliability, follow-through, professional communication and a willingness to act on feedback.
