Job Description

Veterinary Nurse (Part-Time) | Greencross Vets Helensvale Square | Gold Coast, QLD 🐾

Looking for a nursing role that fits around your life, without compromising on team culture, variety, or quality patient care?

At Greencross Vets Helensvale Square, we're looking for an experienced Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly and supportive team in a part-time position, with a minimum of 10 hours per week and opportunities for additional shifts.

Whether you're looking to balance family commitments, study, or simply want a role that offers flexibility while keeping you connected to a fantastic team and varied caseload, we'd love to hear from you.

About Us

At Helensvale Square, we've created a clinic environment where teamwork comes naturally, support is always available, and everyone contributes to delivering exceptional patient care.

Our team enjoys the balance of working in a large, modern, well-equipped clinic while maintaining the warm, close-knit culture of a local veterinary practice. We pride ourselves on building genuine relationships with our clients and providing personalised care to every pet that walks through our doors.

You'll be joining a team of three veterinarians, six experienced nurses, a dedicated Practice Manager, and a Vet Director who holds a Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• A supportive and collaborative team that genuinely enjoys working together
• A positive clinic culture where kindness, respect, and teamwork are valued
• Variety in your day, with exposure to medical, surgical, and dental cases
• Strong nurse utilisation and opportunities to use your skills
• Flexibility with part-time hours and opportunities to pick up additional shifts
• A modern and spacious clinic with excellent facilities and equipment
• Leadership that encourages learning, development, and growth
• A close-knit Gold Coast clinical community, providing opportunities to collaborate, learn, and connect with neighbouring clinics
• Support from our highly regarded Regional Clinical Director, Andy, who is passionate about supporting clinics and teams across the region and is always willing to step in to provide clinical support or help cover when needed
• The backing of an experienced leadership team, including our Interim Area Manager, who previously led the region as Head Nurse and understands firsthand the challenges and rewards of veterinary nursing
• Exciting growth across the region, with our new Area Manager commencing later this year, bringing further support and opportunities for our teams

One of the biggest advantages of joining Helensvale Square is the support available beyond the walls of the clinic. While you'll enjoy the feel of a close-knit local team, you'll also be connected to a wider Gold Coast veterinary community that genuinely supports one another. Whether it's mentorship, clinical advice, professional development, or simply an extra pair of hands when needed, you'll never feel like you're on your own.
