We are seeking a suitably qualified or experienced veterinary nurse to provide high-quality care for all equine, large animal, and hobby farm patients (goats, sheep, alpacas, etc.). Duties include working in the hospital setting with internal medicine specialists, monitoring and treatment of hospitalized patients, including emergency triage and critical care, working with surgeons on elective and emergency procedures, and providing support and assistance to primary opinion clinicians for both emergency and non-emergency consultations.

You will need to have proven experience as an equine or large animal veterinary nurse in a clinical setting, with experience in emergency triage, medical and surgical nursing. You need to be able to work in high-pressure situations, have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and be motivated to mentor the next generation of vets and nurses by imparting knowledge and modeling the highest standards of professional behavior.

To be successful, you will need:

  • Demonstrated experience in equine handling, including the ability to safely perform manual restraint; in-hand leading, and controlled lunging.
  • Demonstrated experience working in a clinical setting.
  • Attention to detail in record keeping and documentation.
  • Demonstrated capacity to work independently but participate cooperatively in team activities.
