Are you a veterinary nurse who is passionate about tailored patient care and building meaningful relationships with pets and their families? We are a privately owned small animal and exotics clinic in the heart of Hobart looking for a veterinary nurse to join our growing team.
This position is ideal for a nurse who is confident in their skills, but most importantly we are looking for someone who shares our values of kindness, respect, and teamwork.
We have a loyal, proactive client base and work with a wide variety of species — dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and mice. This means no two days are ever the same, and there are always new challenges and opportunities to learn. If you don't have extensive exotic experience, we are happy to provide training and support.
At Mayfair, we are committed to creating a positive and supportive workplace culture. We do not tolerate abusive clients and ensure that every member of our team feels valued, respected, and empowered.
