About this opportunity

The RSPCA vet team is looking for an enthusiastic nurse to join our passionate team. The veterinary clinic based at the RSPCA WA in Malaga provides services for all animals that come into our care, which includes prosecution cases through our Inspectorate.  The facilities are equipped with digital x-ray, ultrasound, surgivet monitor and REM blood machines. The role involves treating cats, dogs, pocket pets and some livestock. As we do not offer a veterinary service to the public, there is no reception work, but the role does still require liaison between departments and basic administration.

We will also consider applications from nurses who have been working in a veterinary environment for a minimum of 2 years and are still completing their qualification. The candidate must have strong teamwork skills, be able to work unsupervised and does not require supervision from a veterinary surgeon for general nursing tasks. This role is currently permanent part-time but negotiable for the right candidate if the person is looking for full-time work. Our team is experienced, capable and great to work with.
