Job Description

Greencross Subiaco | Permanent | Part‑time or Full‑time

A clinic that actively supports its people — not just in words, but in day‑to‑day practice

We’re looking for a Veterinary Nurse who wants to work in a clinic where support is practical, teamwork is constant, and people genuinely look out for one another. Whether you’re seeking part‑time or full‑time work, we’re open to discussing what balance looks best for you.

At Greencross Subiaco, we’ve built a culture around clear communication, shared responsibility, and stepping up for each other, clinically and personally. When things get busy or challenging, no one is left to carry it alone.

How we support our team (in real ways)

We show up for each other

Support here isn’t just talked about, it’s built into how we work:

  • Clear, consistent communication with strong notes and handovers
  • Team members jumping in to help without being asked
  • Space to speak up when you’re stretched, and a team that responds
  • Time taken to debrief after tough cases

Outside the clinic, many of us also enjoy spending time together socially, whether that’s casual weekend catch‑ups, shared meals, or just reconnecting outside of scrubs. It’s never expected, but it’s a big part of why the team feels so connected.

You’re backed in complex and demanding cases

Our team is confident managing complex procedures, including recent mast cell tumour removals with skin‑flap reconstruction. Nurses are actively involved in:

  • Surgical support
  • Complex wound management
  • Post‑operative care and follow‑up

Learning is shared openly, and nurses with additional experience and training support others — you’re never expected to “just cope” on your own.

Stress‑free care is a shared priority

We actively use stress‑free handling protocols and adjust schedules where possible to support both patients and clients. This results in:

  • Calmer patients
  • Less emotional fatigue for the team
  • Strong, long‑term client relationships

Pressure is shared, not absorbed by one person.

Work‑life balance is protected

Leadership here is proactive about wellbeing, with:

  • Fair, sustainable rosters
  • Consistent hours for full‑time staff
  • Balanced weekend shifts
  • Encouragement to take breaks and use leave
  • Open conversations when someone is feeling overwhelmed

The goal is simple: do good work without burning people out.

Clinical environment

You’ll be supported by well‑resourced facilities, including:

  • Full in‑house bloods (CBC, biochemistry, electrolytes)
  • X‑ray and ultrasound
  • Cautery
  • Dedicated cat and dog wards
  • Modern, specialised surgical suite
  • Three multiparameter monitors, including capnography

Our vets have strong interests in soft‑tissue surgery and ultrasonography, with advanced training that benefits the whole team.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll have:

  • Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing (or equivalent)
  • 2+ years’ clinical experience as a Veterinary Nurse

Just as importantly, you’ll bring:

  • Clear, respectful communication
  • A team‑first mindset
  • Reliability and adaptability
  • A genuine desire to support patients and colleagues

Why Subiaco?

Subiaco is a vibrant, up‑and‑coming suburb with easy parking, great cafes and bars, and close access to the city, a great place to work and unwind.

Why Greencross?

Alongside the Livingstone team, you’ll have the support of the wider Greencross network, including:

  • Strong leadership at clinic, regional, and national levels
  • Access to CPD and development such as LinkedIn Learning, VetWebinars, and our annual Clinical Conference (in Brisbane this year)
  • Career opportunities across a national network
  • Great benefits including Fitness Passport, 50% off Royal Canin, 25% off Petbarn, and Pounce (groceries, fuel & more) discounts
  • Free Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health support

Why join us?

Because here, support is built into the way we work — and into how we connect as a team.

If you’re looking for a clinic that communicates well, looks after its people, and backs you through busy days and tough moments, we’d love to hear from you.
