Senior Vet Nurse
Job Summary
Description
Senior Veterinary Nurse Brisbane 4-Day Week
Were not looking for someone to fill a seat. Were looking for someone who wants to help build something.
Were a Brisbane GP clinic in the exciting (and sometimes chaotic) phase of setting ourselves up for long-term excellence and we need a Senior Nurse who wants to be part of that from the ground up.
Our head nurse is highly experienced across both GP and emergency with particular strength in anaesthesia. Shes the kind of person who will genuinely invest in you but she needs a peer beside her not another person to carry. Someone who brings their own ideas catches the things she misses and helps lift the whole team.
What the role actually looks like
Youll be nursing at your full scope from day one. We have nurse-led consults and were actively developing nurse-led clinics weight management puppy consults post-op care and more. Youll work with our head nurse to build clinical protocols and help mentor our junior staff. You wont be told what to do next. Youll know.
Our vets rely on our nurses genuinely. Nursing input is respected in patient management clinical decisions are collaborative and we dont have a culture of nurses being treated as assistants. If something isnt working we want to hear it.
Weve invested in the equipment that lets you do your job properly: capnography digital and dental X-ray ultrasound electrocautery. Gold standard care isnt a tagline here its what weve built toward and keep building toward.
What we offer
4-day working week because five days is last century
Above-award wage reflecting your experience at a genuine senior level
Rotating Saturday roster weekends exist and you still get most of them
Paid public holidays
Very limited overtime were honest that it occasionally happens but its actively managed; we also have emergency clinics nearby so after-hours pressure doesnt fall on you
Free CPD online access plus a dedicated training facility
Meaningful staff pet discounts actually meaningful not 10% off a bag of kibble
Real scope of practice nurse-led consults clinical input protocol development
A practice manager who genuinely prioritises staff wellbeing not as a poster on the wall but as how decisions actually get made
Wraparound support from your PM lead vet head nurse and the wider team you wont be left to figure things out alone
Were looking for someone who:
Has 2 years of qualified GP nursing experience and is confident working independently
Communicates brilliantly with clients with vets and with junior staff
Actively contributes ideas and isnt afraid to say what if we did this differently
Wants to genuinely be part of something for the long term not the next 12 months
Cares deeply about patient outcomes and being a meaningful part of their community
A word on culture
Were not perfect well say that plainly. Were a newer team deliberately building for long-term success and that means were still refining still improving and genuinely open to being made better by the right people. If youre someone who gets energy from that kind of environment youll fit right in. If you want everything already figured out were probably not the right place yet.
