Professional Grade 4 $49,811 - $72,803
College of Sciences
Term length: fixed-term
Hours of work: full-time
Position Overview
Are you an experienced nurse with amazing multitasking ability? Are you keen for more hands-on nursing and excel in a fast-paced environment? We are seeking applications from qualified veterinary nurses to work in our Community Practice department, within our Companion Animal Hospital team in a full-time fixed term (11 month) role.
What we can offer
Within our Companion Animal Team, you will be working alongside Veterinary Specialists and general practitioners in New Zealand’s only Veterinary teaching hospital facility. Massey Vets provides 24/7 Emergency Critical care for Vet clinics throughout the wider Manawatū-Whanganui region and provides afterhours care to practices all over the Manawatū. This leads to a both challenging and extremely rewarding nursing environment. AND you get to help animals, and their families make their lives better.
Massey’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital is a state-of-the-art, fast-paced facility offering New Zealand’s most comprehensive veterinary expertise. Our community practice team have a fast-paced environment and enjoy a varied role working alongside the other departments within the hospital, allowing scope to further educate in other areas.
About you
The successful applicant will have experience in general practice nursing and be able to multitask and prioritise, as no two days are the same. There will be a lot of opportunity to run general anaesthetics and work with gorgeous puppies and kittens, as well as scope to start your own nurse led consultations. Join an awesome team of 5 nurses who work on a rotating roster, but within business hours, Monday to Friday. So, no rostered Saturday work! As part of this role, you will be required to participate on an afterhours on-call roster including public holidays and weekends, but only approximately 1 in every 10 weeks. What a great work-life balance!
MUST HAVES:
Immediate start available and applications will be reviewed as received. Advertising may be withdrawn prior to closing, so apply now!
Enquiries may be directed to Brittany Wilson, Frontline Services Supervisor via email, [email protected]
