SalaryAre you interested in working in a field that is meaningful, really matters and makes a difference – both to pets and the people who love them?
Are you already a career nurse looking for training and development opportunities beyond Cert IV?
West Queanbeyan Veterinary Hospital is looking for an additional team member who wants to work within a community of compassionate and like-minded people that believe in being there when our furry friends and their pet-parents need us most. Come and help us look after our furry friends!
Who we are.
- An established, 6 vet, Small Animal practice with a reputation for a high standard of care and with all the equipment to do most things in-house.
- A team that believes in helping people to achieve the best for their pets.
- A practice with a contemporary outlook, philosophy and a dedication to creating a happy, friendly and safe work environment with a culture based on Fairness, Respect and Inclusion.
- A practice owned by a very generous employer with reputation based on excellent clinical skills, professional integrity, amazing work ethic, with a progressive attitude where professional and personal development for the entire team is supported, encouraged and provided.
What is on offer.
- An opportunity to be a part of a highly capable team, working in a busy practice that enjoys a high, varied and interesting caseload – which means our nurses are hands on and get to do a lot, playing a pivotal role in patient care.
- Well organised and structured environment that supports learning and development within a friendly, supportive and approachable team.
- Full-time position (Perm-part/time position will also be considered). Experience is an asset but not a requirement. We have a well defined and supportive induction process and are happy to train you whatever stage of your journey you are at.
- A team that gets together daily for clinic rounds plus regular team meetings and training sessions.
- Personal and career development opportunities plus well above award wages. WQVH has an in-house development and progression pathway for Veterinary Nurses designed to allow development, progression and reward (in an otherwise traditionally limited field) that recognises the skills, hard work and important contribution of Nurses to Veterinary practice.

- Stable roster consisting of a 38hr, 4 day week with the same day off each week plus one or two weekend shift per month (paid at full penalty rates). No split shifts and a 6.30pm finish (clinic closes at 6pm).
What we are looking for:
Additional team members who value honesty, integrity, respect and fairness in a supportive environment who are flexible, adaptable and professional with positive can-do attitudes and self-awareness.
