Our mission is upheld by passionate individuals who embody a profound affinity for animals, community, and advocacy.

Working alongside a team of dedicated and compassionate veterinarians and nurses, you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your clinical and surgical nursing skills in a fast-paced shelter environment.

You’ll be supported by experienced colleagues who will provide with the opportunity to upskill into shelter nursing, and you will bring your knowledge and confidence in all areas of nursing including; triage, monitoring anesthesia, post-operative care to our team. This is a rewarding role where no two days are the same, and your work has a direct impact on improving the lives of animals in need.

Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing
Minimum 2 years’ experience as a Veterinary Nurse
Significant industry knowledge and ability to work under limited guidance and supervision
Excellent animal handling skills and a solid understanding of animal behaviour
A genuine passion for animal care and a strong advocate for best practice
The flexibility to work across a rotating roster

What we can offer you

Fantastic career development and opportunities to develop skills not only shelter medicine but also in the animal welfare industry
Generous financial assistance and support for further studies and career development courses
Great work-life balance, no afterhours work
An animal only role, no reception or client facing duties
