About the Role

Company Description

If you’re an experienced vet nurse who thrives in surgery, loves hands‑on, high‑quality nursing, and enjoys the energy of a busy hospital, Greencross Port Macquarie is calling your name!

Our clinic sits in one of Australia’s most desirable coastal towns: beaches, wildlife, hiking trails, and a laid‑back community vibe that makes work–life balance feel effortless. Pair that with a team culture you’ll actually love walking into each day and this is a role worth getting excited about.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

We’re a bustling, well‑resourced hospital that sees the full spectrum of veterinary medicine. As part of the local afterhours syndicate and without an emergency centre nearby, we manage everything from:

  • Tick paralysis
  • Trauma
  • Medical emergencies
  • Wildlife
  • General practice cases

It’s variety, challenge, and genuine skill‑building, every single shift.

What Makes Our Team Special

Our veterinary team is experienced, respected, and known for delivering outstanding care. We’re a well‑staffed, fast‑moving, supportive crew with strong nursing capability and excellent communication. Teamwork is smooth, clinical standards are high, and yes our morning teas are legendary.

If you love being part of a team that genuinely fires on all cylinders, you’ll fit right in.

About You

You’re a confident, capable Vet Nurse who can walk straight into surgery without needing extra training. You bring:

  • Cert IV in Vet Nursing & 2+ years’ experience
  • Strong general nursing + excellent anaesthetic skills
  • A positive, reliable, “jump in where needed” attitude
  • Great communication and a team-first mindset
  • Solid availability, including the ability to support the team on short notice when things get busy

This role is perfect for a nurse who thrives on variety, responsibility, and an environment where their skills are trusted and valued.

What You’ll Be Doing

A dynamic, hands-on mix of nursing duties:

  • Surgical prep & theatre nursing
  • Anaesthetic monitoring & patient recovery
  • Supporting vets during consults and procedures
  • Dental procedures & radiography
  • Medication administration & medical nursing
  • Helping keep the clinic running smoothly day to day

No two days are the same and you’ll never be bored.
