If that sounds like just another Tuesday, we'd love to meet you.

Due to continued growth, Wyndham Veterinary Clinic is searching for both an experienced Full-Time or Part-Time Senior Veterinary Nurse to join our busy, friendly, and highly skilled team.

• - Brand new CT imaging unit

If you enjoy variety, and want to work in a clinic that encourages nurses to utilise their full skill set, keep reading.
