ECC Veterinary Nurse - VRH Dandenong

Join the VRH Emergency & Critical Care Team! Part-time role, big-time impact - with every shift bringing something new!

Are you a superstar GP nurse itching to level up into referral nursing?

Or maybe you’ve danced with emergency before and are craving that adrenaline-fuelled buzz again?

Either way… VRH wants YOU to join our vibrant Emergency & Critical Care (ECC) team!

Why You’ll Love ECC at VRH

Our ECC department runs 24/7, 365 days a year, and we need a nurse who’s ready to jump into the action.

Here’s the deal:

• Mostly night shifts (perfect for night owls)
• Weekend availability needed
• Shifts from 8 hours up to 12h 40m
• Hours may increase occasionally to help cover team leave
• Preference for those who love Swing or overnight shifts 
• A well-deserved Above-award pay rate

What Your Shifts Look Like

No two are ever the same, you’ll jump between:

• ICU and hospital nursing
• Support and procedural roles
• Triage, stabilisation and those “go go go!” moments

Our ECC leadership will have your back from day one, making sure you feel supported, confident, and ready to shine, whether you’re an ECC pro or brand new to the scene.

Join a Team You’ll Want to High-Five Every Day

You’ll work alongside a brilliant crew of ECC nurses, vets, and specialists who cheer each other on, share the wins, and tackle challenges together.

With a diverse caseload and a multidisciplinary hospital (ECC, Anaesthesia, Surgery, Neurology, Internal Medicine, Imaging), you’ll build skills fast in a collaborative, encouraging environment.
And yes - watching a patient finally head home after days or weeks with us? An unmatched feeling.

What We’re Looking For

You’re our kind of human if you have:

• Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing (or equivalent)
• 2+ years’ experience in the veterinary industry
• Amazing communication and organisation
• Initiative, teamwork skills, and a “we’ve got this!” vibe
• Adaptability when the unexpected rolls in
• Solid anaesthesia/set-up/monitoring skills
• Availability for nights and weekends
• Emergency/referral experience is a bonus (but not essential - we will train you!)

What We Offer

• Generous Greencross family discounts (AEC, GP clinics, Petbarn) + Royal Canin
• A well-stocked pantry
• Dedicated animal attendants so you can focus on nursing
• Competitive salary + penalty rates
• A positive, supportive, genuinely awesome workplace
• Loads of opportunities to grow your ECC skills in a fast-paced referral setting
