Looking for a role where you can use your nursing skills across a diverse caseload, be part of a supportive team, and enjoy the lifestyle that comes with regional Queensland?

Clermont Veterinary Surgery has been proudly supporting the local community and surrounding districts for over 45 years. As a well-established mixed practice, we provide care across small animals, equine and livestock, with no two days looking the same.

We're currently seeking an experienced Veterinary Nurse to join our team. Whether you're looking for a full-time position, part-time flexibility, or casual work, we'd love to hear from you.

About Us

Located in the heart of Central Queensland, Clermont is a welcoming rural community with a strong agricultural, equine and sporting culture.

Our clinic offers:

• A genuine mixed practice caseload across small animals, equine and cattle
• Well-equipped facilities including surgery, dentistry and hospital care
• 24-hour emergency services
• A collaborative team environment with extensive industry experience
• The opportunity to work closely with veterinarians across a broad range of clinical cases

About the Role

This is a hands-on nursing position where you'll play an important role in supporting our veterinary team and providing excellent patient care.

Responsibilities include:

• Assisting with consultations, treatments and hospital cases
• Surgical nursing, anaesthetic preparation and monitoring
• Administering medications and supporting patient recovery
• Delivering exceptional client service
• Assisting veterinarians both in-clinic and on farm visits when required

For full-time team members, the roster is typically 76 hours per fortnight, including participation in a 1-in-4 weekend roster and occasional weeknight on-call duties. Flexibility is available for part-time and casual candidates.
