Are you an experienced Veterinary Nurse looking for a role where you can truly make a difference? At CareVets Oratia, we’re searching for a special person to join our lead team and help us continue providing exceptional care to our patients and outstanding service to our clients.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being busy, loves working with both animals and people, and wants to be part of a supportive team where no two days are the same.

-        Fun, close-knit team culture with plenty of laughs

-        Opportunity to grow with a progressive, expanding clinic

About the Clinic

CareVets Oratia is a well-established companion animal practice in the heart of the welcoming Oratia community. We’re a progressive clinic with an extended surgical caseload and a strong focus on nurse consults.

With a passionate and dedicated team, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional care to our furry clients and building lasting relationships with their owners. We’re a fun, busy, and supportive clinic that genuinely enjoys working together—you’ll find plenty of laughs, morning teas and coffees, and a team that has your back.

About the Role

This is a part-time Veterinary Nurse role (approximately 25 hours per week), with the potential to increase as the clinic grows.

While this role is primarily a veterinary nurse role, there will be some front-of-house work to keep our reception running smoothly.

• Providing outstanding client service and reception support

• Creating warm, positive client experiences from the moment they walk through the door

• Supporting vets and nurses with day-to-day clinic operations

• Assisting with nurse consults and clinical support when needed

• Helping contribute ideas as the clinic continues to grow and improve

-        A positive team player who is flexible, open-minded, and willing to jump in wherever needed

-        Comfortable working independently as well as within a team

-        Experience with Vision software is a bonus, but not essential

What’s on Offer?

-        Hourly rate of $26–$31 per hour (depending on experience)

-        Part-time role (approx. 25 hours) with potential to increase as the clinic grows

-        A fantastic, fun, and supportive team culture

-        Plenty of laughs, morning teas, coffees, and a genuinely connected team

-        Strong focus on training, development, and continuous improvement

-        Opportunity to be part of a progressive clinic with nurse consults and expanded services

-        Flexible, supportive workplace with a real sense of community

-        Discounts on vet services and retail products across the CareVets network

-        Confidential counselling support available

-        Access to the wider CareVets network and support
