About us

Nestled in the picturesque suburb of Happy Valley, Chandlers Hill Vet is just a half-hour drive from the renowned McLaren Vale Wine region and a short trip to both the vibrant city and beautiful beaches. Our clinic, a well-respected small animal practice, has recently undergone renovations to create a spacious and modern environment for both our staff and furry patients. With three consult rooms, a dedicated cat waiting area, and a large dog ward separated from our feline friends, we prioritize comfort and efficiency. Our fully equipped imaging room, sterile surgery, and non-sterile treatment room enhance our capabilities, all centred around a welcoming veterinary office and nurse station.

The Opportunity

We’re on the lookout for our next star Veterinary Nurse to join our dynamic team, available on a full-time or part-time basis (flexibility for the right candidate!). In this role, you’ll be instrumental in supporting our veterinarians with patient care and consultations, enjoying a diverse range of duties that include surgery, hospital care, consults, and reception. With no two days alike, you’ll thrive in a vibrant environment alongside our charming clinic cat, Chandler Bing—who expects you to appreciate his TV taste and share your keyboard (this is non-negotiable!).

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in a small animal clinic, either in a receptionist or veterinary nursing capacity (highly beneficial).
• A Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing (desirable but not essential).
• A keen eye for detail, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
• A genuine passion for delivering exceptional patient and client care.

What’s in it for you?

• Flexible scheduling to suit your lifestyle.
• Competitive remuneration commensurate with skills and experience.
• A supportive team environment focused on well-being, with regular check-ins from senior nurses and practice managers.
• Scheduled break times—because we believe in the importance of coffee and lunch breaks!
• Work with AWESOME clients – we pride ourselves on our staff-client relationships.
• Paid Parental and Purrental Leave – because we love our furbabies.
• Regular exciting employee social events.
• We are proud to be Great Place to Work – Certified!
• Access to our VC Learning Academy, an online learning portal for professional development.
• Personal wellness support through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
