Hamilton Small Animal Veterinary Centre is seeking an experienced veterinary nurse to complement our talented team in Hamilton, New Zealand

We currently have two full time and one part time veterinarians, five veterinary nurses and a dedicated reception team of three. We have an amazing client base which has been established over many years of dedicated service to the community.

As nurse your role in client relations is of utmost importance and nurse consults are part of the role.

We are excited for the recent addition of mobile clinics so we can bring our excellent service to those with out transportation or pets that are a little anxious to come into clinic and may benefit from home visits.

We have a referral clinic within our facility, Veterinary Referral Services, and from time to time there is opportunity to work within this team. We host a range of diagnostic equipment, Dental x-ray, Digital X-ray, ultrasound, scope and in house Idexx suite, so being familiar with their use would be an advantage.

The position is full time with a varied case load. We are open 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday and 8.30am – 4pm on Saturdays. After hours emergency work is provided by an external clinic, the ideal veterinary nurse schedule would be 5 days per week with rostered weekend work on a Saturday/Sunday (inpatients/cattery).

Hamilton Small Animal Veterinary Centre is located in Hamilton, New Zealand, North Island. We are only 45 mins from the beautiful west coast beach Raglan, and just under 2 hours to the beautiful East coast beaches, if you like skiing in winter Mount Ruapehu is located in central North Island.
