Veterinary Nurse – Gippsland Veterinary Hospital

Full-time – immediate start

We are looking for a qualified Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly team on a full-time basis at Maffra. This role would suit someone who enjoys being hands-on in clinic, is organised and works well as part of a busy team.

About the clinic and team

The Maffra hospital is a modern, well-equipped facility with four consult rooms, a dedicated dentistry room, advanced imaging including CT, a large surgical theatre and treatment area, plus hydrotherapy and rehabilitation services.

We service a loyal and diverse client base including progressive dairy and beef producers, as well as a growing population of equine and companion animal owners. With experienced veterinarians and high-quality equipment across all sites, we manage most cases in house and refer very little.

As part of Apiam Animal Health, the clinic also benefits from being connected to a wider network, while still maintaining a close knit, local feel.

You will be involved in all aspects of nursing support, including:

• Assisting with consultations, surgery and procedures
• Patient care, monitoring and recovery
• Anaesthesia support
• Client communication and education
• Maintaining a clean, well-organised clinic environment

 About you

• Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or equivalent experience
• A positive, team focused approach
• Good communication skills and a genuine care for patients and clients
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• A willingness to learn and grow in your role

What we offer

• Full-time position, working across clinic open hours plus on-call when required (usually on a 1-in-4 rotation, plus one weekend on-call shift per month)
• Support for training, CPD, and further study in line with Apiam policies
• Generous staff discounts for your own pets
• Paid parental leave
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program
• Access to a range of retail, travel, and lifestyle discounts
• Supportive leadership and a genuinely friendly team culture

If you are a nurse who enjoys being valued, supported, and part of a team that looks after each other, we would love to hear from you. Apply with your resume and cover letter or contact [email protected] for more information.
