Whether you're an experienced nurse or a confident junior nurse ready to build on your skills, we'd love to hear from you. For the right candidate, there may also be an opportunity to transition into a part-time position in the future.

We're looking for someone who is kind, caring, motivated, and eager to continue learning while contributing positively to our team culture.

Why You'll Love Working at Southport

At Southport, we've worked hard to create a clinic where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

We believe great patient care starts with a supported team, so alongside a varied caseload and interesting medical and surgical cases, you'll enjoy:

• A welcoming and supportive team of 5 veterinarians and 8 nurses
• A positive culture focused on teamwork, learning, and respect
• Regular lunch-and-learn sessions and ongoing development opportunities
• A well-stocked snack drawer that's become somewhat famous within the team
• Protected and scheduled lunch breaks for our nurses
• GP operating hours of 8am-6pm Monday to Friday

Facilities include:

• Three consulting rooms
• Large reception area

Located within a shopping centre, you'll also have plenty of options for coffee, lunch, and errands during your break.

We're looking for a nurse who can confidently monitor anaesthesia independently and knows when to seek support when needed. Experience with dental scale and polish procedures and dental radiography is highly regarded, but we're happy to provide training for the right person.

Why Join Greencross?

• Ongoing learning and development opportunities, including LinkedIn Learning, VetWebinars, and the annual Greencross Clinical Conference
