Ophthalmology Nurse

Perth Animal Eye Hospital is proud to be the only ophthalmology referral hospital in Perth, based  in the Southern Suburbs. We have a dedicated team of Specialists, Registrar and Residents  operating in our hospital, equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical equipment.

Over the past year,  the demand for high-quality Specialist-led ophthalmology has grown, and we are now looking for a Senior Nurse to join us.

About the role We believe in giving our nurses opportunities for growth and utilising them to their full potential. Being the only ophthalmology specialist hospital in Perth has meant that we are accomplished at training people in our specialism – so when you join we will be more than happy to help you develop the skills you need to succeed.

You will, of course, already have a history of working as a Veterinary Nurse, ideally with some speciality experience – but if not, that’s OK, provided that you love spending your time doing all things surgery, and are confident and comfortable with everything in between.

With your experience, there will be opportunities to help develop and train other nurses alongside the Head Nurse.

Unlike a lot of hospitals, we work Monday to Friday between 7:30 and 6:30, and an on-call roster once every 6 weeks. The best part is the on-call roster is for emergencies only as we are not open for routine appointments during the weekend

What we are looking for

• Certificate IV in vet nursing or equivalent
• Minimum 4 years’ experience within GP or 2 years’ experience within a Specialty Surgery but happy to consider other suitable applicants.
• An amazing ‘can do’, team player attitude.

What we can offer:

• Weekday shifts – no more weekend work other than the on-call roster
• 4 day working week
• An interesting and varied role that is equally rotated
• Highly supportive team environment. What’s working without some fun!
• Salary is above Award and will be dependent on the experience you bring to the role

Apart from being a great place to work and learn, we have a number of other perks from discounts from 80+ retailers, private health cover insurance discounts, paid parental leave and wellbeing support (a full EAP program so you can look after your mental health).

How you can get in touch If this sounds like a place you could see yourself working, or want a bit more information before you can make that decision, reach out to me on [email protected] – if you have already made your mind up though, apply by sending me your CV.

I know what it is like writing a cover letter, so if you are a bit time poor, don’t feel like you need to write one or spend a long time on it.
