A clinic where good nurses can make a difference
Are you an experienced veterinary nurse looking for a role where you can put your skills to good use, have your judgement valued and continue developing professionally?

Hilltop Veterinary Centre has been under new ownership since 2024 and is growing, with a focus on building a supportive workplace where nurses are trusted to contribute, encouraged to use their initiative and treated with respect.

We’re looking for a capable, hands-on veterinary nurse who enjoys general practice, takes pride in providing excellent patient care and wants to be part of a team that values their contribution. You’ll be working with vets who appreciate knowledgeable nurses, welcome their input and encourage them to think independently and speak up when needed.

Ideally, you’ll bring at least three years of experience, but we’re more interested in your ability, attitude and willingness to learn than the number of years you’ve been in the profession. If you’re earlier in your career but developing strong clinical skills and ready to step up, we’d still love to hear from you.

About the role
This is a varied, hands-on nursing position offering the opportunity to work across a broad range of general practice duties, including:

• Surgical nursing and anaesthesia
• Dentistry and dental radiography
• Pathology and diagnostic procedures
• In-hospital patient care
• Nurse consultations

You’ll have the opportunity to contribute your knowledge, exercise initiative and continue building your clinical capabilities in a workplace that recognises the important role veterinary nurses play in patient outcomes.

About you
We’re looking for someone who:

• Holds a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or a recognised equivalent qualification
• Is confident with anaesthesia, surgery and general patient care
• Can work independently, think on their feet and use initiative
• Communicates effectively with clients, veterinarians and fellow nurses
• Is open to feedback, keen to learn and happy to share knowledge with others
• Takes pride in doing things properly and maintaining a high standard of patient care

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who wants to do a good job, contribute positively to the team and continue developing as a veterinary nurse.

What we offer
Flexible permanent employment: Choose part-time or full-time hours, with a minimum of two days per week and flexibility to suit the right applicant.

A sustainable roster: No overnight or on-call duties, with Saturday mornings shared across the team.

Time to provide quality care: Veterinary consultations are scheduled for 30 minutes, allowing time for thorough assessments and considered patient care.

Professional development: Further training and continuing professional development (CPD) can be tailored to your interests and areas you’d like to develop.

A voice in the workplace: Hilltop is independently owned, with decisions made locally. You’ll be part of a clinic where capable nurses are encouraged to contribute ideas and play an active role in patient care.

Room to grow: As the clinic continues to invest in its people, equipment and facilities, there are opportunities to strengthen your clinical skills and take on additional responsibility if that’s what you want from your career.

Your salary will be negotiated according to your experience and capabilities.
