Job Description

Are you a specialist veterinary nurse looking for a new opportunity, or an experienced GP nurse ready for the next step in your career?

AEC + Specialty Care Moorabbin is seeking a passionate veterinary nurse to join our growing Emergency & Specialty Hospital.

Whether you're already working in referral practice and looking for a new opportunity, or you're an experienced GP nurse eager to expand your skills and experience and take the next step in your career, we offer the opportunity to build a role around your interests and goals.

Our hospital brings together Emergency & Critical Care, Specialist Surgery, and Specialist Medicine under one roof, creating unique opportunities for nurses to develop expertise in their chosen discipline or gain experience across multiple departments.

You may choose to focus within a single department or work across Emergency, Surgery, and Medicine, depending on your interests, experience, and professional development goals.

Working alongside specialists, emergency veterinarians, interns, and highly skilled nursing teams, you'll be exposed to complex cases, advanced procedures, and a collaborative environment that supports continuous learning and growth.

Why Consider Referral and Emergency Nursing?

Working in a specialty hospital offers exposure to complex cases, advanced procedures, and a level of nursing that allows you to continually grow and develop your skills.

As part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Work within Emergency & Critical Care, Specialist Surgery, Specialist Medicine, or across multiple departments.
• Be involved in advanced diagnostics, procedures, and patient management.
• Develop your anaesthesia, monitoring, and critical care nursing skills.
• Work alongside specialists, emergency veterinarians, interns, and experienced referral nurses.
• Build expertise in managing complex medical and surgical cases.
• Receive ongoing mentorship, training, and professional development support.

Whether you're looking to fully transition into referral nursing or simply seeking a new challenge and broader clinical exposure, we'd love to support your journey.
