Veterinary Nurse - Sydney Veterinary Hospital

Looking for a veterinary nursing role that will challenge, inspire and accelerate your growth?

This is not your typical general practice role. The RSPCA NSW Sydney Veterinary Hospital is fast-paced, dynamic, and often unpredictable, offering exposure to an incredibly diverse caseload that will develop your skills and confidence faster than you thought possible! This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow. You will see cases each week that others working in general practice might only see once a year.

If you're the type of veterinary nurse who thrives on variety, enjoys being busy, and wants to make a genuine difference to people and animals every day, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

This is a fast-paced and rewarding role where every day brings something different. From supporting clients and assisting with our busy surgical and desexing caseload, to triaging trauma patients and caring for vulnerable shelter animals, you'll gain exposure to a broad range of cases. You'll also assist with medical investigations while working alongside an experienced team committed to helping people and animals.

As a Veterinary Nurse, you'll play an essential role in the delivery of high-quality veterinary care, including:

• Hospital in-patient care and treatment, including placing IVCs and venipuncture
• Emergency management including triage and assessment of incoming animals
• Client care including providing support and education as a Consult Nurse, as well as working at reception on a rotating basis
• Surgical nursing (including orthopaedics and dentistry)
• Anaesthetic preparation and monitoring
• Diagnostics including pathology and imaging
• Maintaining wards and hospital environment including cleaning and sterilisation of surgical equipment to ensure high standards of patient care, hygiene and infection control
• Providing enrichment to hospitalised patients and monitoring patient wellbeing
   

We're looking for someone who:

• Holds a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or Bachelor of Veterinary Technology with previous experience in a veterinary nursing role
• Genuinely cares about people and working together to address barriers they may face in accessing veterinary care for their pets
• Thrives in a busy environment (experience in an emergency setting would be well-regarded)
• Is adaptable, resilient and eager to learn
• Works well both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
• Communicates professionally and compassionately
• Brings positive energy, initiative and a solutions-focused mindset
• Has a current Class C Driver’s License
