Job Description
The Melbourne Veterinary Specialist Centre (MVSC) is a multi-disciplinary specialist hospital supporting referring vets across Melbourne and regional Victoria. We see a wide range of complex and interesting cases - so you’ll never be bored!
We’re on the lookout for an experienced veterinary nurse to join our Internal Medicine team in a full-time position, helping to lead the team while still being right in the middle of what’s going on day-to-day.
What we offer:
-
Immediate start
-
Full-time position
-
No weekend roster
-
No public holidays
-
Above award wage
-
Based at our Glen Waverley Centre
-
Great culture
Our Internal Medicine department is looking for an experienced nurse who can help keep things running smoothly while supporting our specialists and delivering excellent patient care.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll help guide the nursing team, keep workflows on track, and maintain high standards - all while working in a fast-paced (and occasionally chaotic) specialist environment.
You’ll be involved in a range of procedures including MRI, CT, chemotherapy, endoscopy, ultrasound, and radiography, and will work closely with both clients and clinicians throughout the day. While primarily based in Internal Medicine, there may also be opportunities to support other specialty services across the hospital.
You’ll also be working alongside a genuinely supportive group of people across our wider departments, including Surgery, Dermatology and Behavioural Medicine.
And just as importantly…
At MVSC, culture matters a lot to us! We work hard, but we also like to enjoy where we work. We aim for a supportive, down-to-earth environment where there’s plenty of humour, good banter, and people who actually like working together. We’re looking for someone who not only has the skills, but is also a great fit for our team culture.
