Veterinary Nurse - Greencross Vets Diamond Creek
Part-time
Veterinary Nurse (Part-Time) | Greencross Diamond Creek | Melbourne, VIC
Big enough to keep things interesting.
Small enough to feel like home.
Greencross Diamond Creek is looking for an experienced Veterinary Nurse to join our close-knit team on a part-time basis (3-4 days per week).
Nestled between Melbourne's leafy northern suburbs and the Yarra Valley, we're a bright, stand-alone clinic where you'll enjoy a varied caseload, supportive leadership, and the opportunity to work alongside a team that genuinely enjoys coming to work each day.
Whether you're assisting with surgery, monitoring anaesthesia, nursing a pocket pet, or helping manage a snake bite patient during the warmer months, no two days are quite the same.
If you're an experienced nurse looking for a role where your skills are valued, your contribution is recognised, and your teammates have your back, we'd love to hear from you.
