Applicant Requirements
We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse who is confident to jump right in with routine anaesthesia, radiography, and hospital care e.g. placing IVs, taking bloods, drug calculations and IVFT etc. With the opportunity to get involved with nurse consults, Schedule 3 and more if you'd like! We are looking for someone with good communication skills and a genuine passion for their job.
