Qualified Veterinary Nurse – Leadership Opportunity
Newton Veterinary Centre
Are you an experienced Veterinary Nurse ready to take the next step in your career?
Do you thrive in supportive, community-focused environments where your voice matters and your leadership potential is encouraged?
Newton Veterinary Centre is seeking a Qualified Veterinary Nurse with a minimum of 5 years' experience to join our compassionate and progressive team. This position is ideal for someone with a natural interest in leadership, strong organisational skills, and a passion for contributing to a positive, inclusive workplace culture.
In 2022, Dr Conor Brand and Dr Mark Reeve took ownership of Newton Veterinary Centre, bringing fresh energy and a deep commitment to pets and the local community. Dr Conor joined us from Tea Tree Gully Veterinary Hospital, where he and Dr Mark worked closely for five years before coming together to lead Newton Vet.
We provide a full range of general veterinary services—including health checks, vaccinations, desexing, dental care, surgery, and parasite control. From a puppy's first visit to ongoing care for senior pets, we pride ourselves on genuine relationships, a down-to-earth approach, and gold‑standard care.
At Newton Veterinary Centre, your pet's wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do—and we're looking for a nurse who shares that ethos.

* Delivery of evidence‑based preventative healthcare advice to clients across all life stages
* Effective phone triage with clinically focused information gathering and appropriate client guidance
Availability: Monday to Friday only

What We Offer
* Supportive, compassionate leaders and colleagues

* Clear pathways for career progression
* Independently owned, yet closely connected with one of SA's largest veterinary hospitals—giving you the best of both worlds
* A clinic environment where your ideas, wellbeing, and growth are genuinely valued
