Veterinary Nurse

Registered Veterinary Nurse, £35-£38k DOE Malvern, Melbourne. Australia.
You are a good nurse and from being a small child it’s all you ever wanted to be, working with and caring for animals. You are one of the lucky ones who loves what you do, working in an industry you really care about.
The industry is changing though, you are spending less time with the patient, paperwork is increasing, so are the hours, and don’t get me started on all those pointless targets!
Fancy a fresh challenge on the other side of the world?
With the outdoor lifestyle, the mountains, the beaches, the long blue-sky days, and their ‘happy-go-lucky’ attitude to life Australia has it all.
Tempted, then read on.
What if we knew of a hospital where you can work with a team of friendly like-minded individuals, a place where ongoing learning and development is encouraged, promotion is from within and they believe in a work-life balance that everybody talks about but few deliver.
Well, you're in luck as we do and this one is hiring.
A super modern Melbourne hospital with dozens of 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews is hiring for growth. Known as one of Australia's best referral centres they are looking to hire a nurse to join the team.
Ideally somebody with 2-3 years’ experience but what is equally as important is an empathetic nurse who doesn’t mind rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck in from the start.
This hospital has a real ‘family feel,’ about it where everyone pulls together when there’s work, and relaxes when it’s time. Without layers of management decisions can be made quickly and ideas are encouraged.

The roles are days offered on a full-time or part-time basis. A flexible rota is in place and you would be expected to work approximately 1 in 6 weekends.
They are looking for applicants with an understanding and monitoring in anaesthesia. The ability to work in a fast-paced environment, both in a team and autonomously. Ventilator knowledge is advantageous but not essential – training will be provided.
