Job description

Veterinary Nurse. Cranbrook. British Columbia. Canada. $48K -$61K with O/T $70k per annum

You’re a great nurse, a team player, with an adventurous side who wants more out of life than back-to-back consults and an in tray full of paper work. You didn’t become a nurse to spend less time with the patient, did you?

You've thought about moving. Somewhere with snow-capped peaks, lakes like glass, and trails that start right at your doorstep. A place where the people are friendly, the air is fresh, and the work actually feels meaningful.

Welcome to Cranbrook, British Columbia. Mountains, wildlife, restaurants, gyms, cafes, good schools and community events all year round.

We are lucky to be working this long-standing, privately own practice and its hiring for growth.

About the Role

Our client is on the hunt for a kind, curious, and committed Registered Veterinary Nurse to join their team. Think surgeries, anaesthesia, radiology, lab work, and patient care. Think mentorship, growth, and learning. This is a practice with a great team spirit, shared values and genuine support.

• On-call shared across 6 clinics, meaning fewer sleepless nights and more balance.
• Rarely sole charge, always solid backup.
• Salary: $48K -$61K DOE with O/T this will be $70k

• Relocation assistance available.
• Health benefits, staff discounts, profit sharing.
• A culture built on respect, growth, and zero ego.
• Oh, andreal work-life balance.

The Clinic

Established in 1978 and still locally owned. They’ve got 5 full-time vets, 7 nurses and a stellar support team. From exotic pets to large animals, you’ll see a wild variety of cases thanks to their rural location and the nearest referral centre being 4 hours away.

This practice has a real ‘family feel,’ about it where everyone pulls together when there’s work, and relaxes when it’s time. Without the shackles of a large vet group, decisions can be made quickly and ideas are encouraged.

The Place

Cranbrook is a small town gem in the heart of the Kootenays. Skiing, hiking, paddleboarding, fishing, biking, pick your playground. Great schools, direct flights to Vancouver & Calgary, and a real sense of community.

So, what’s next?
