  • Assisting with patient handling and monitoring under staff direction
  • Maintaining a clean, safe, and hygienic environment for patients and staff

Working with us, you can enjoy:

  • A Full-time or Part-time position - we're flexible
  • Competitive salary + benefits that actually mean something
  • A supportive team that wants you to grow
  • Ongoing education and career development
  • Staff discounts on products and services (because your pets deserve it too)
  • A real opportunity to make a difference - every single day

To be successful in this role, you will be:

  • Passionate about animals and committed to their wellbeing
  • A team player with excellent communication skills
  • Reliable, punctual, and ready to roll up your sleeves
  • Someone who takes pride in high standards of cleanliness and care, with attention to detail
  • Experienced in animal hospital, shelter, boarding facility, or similar environment skills (preferred but not essential)

A Certificate II or III in Animal Studies (or currently studying) will be highly regarded but what matters most is your attitude, empathy, and willingness to learn

Apply now and be part of something extraordinary. Support patient care, teamwork, and compassion in our specialist & emergency hospital.
