About this role
Greencross Vets Sandringham is looking for an experienced full-time Veterinary Nurse to join our team.
If you’re looking for a clinic with genuine team connection, a strong community feel, and a space that reflects the people and pets within it, this could be the right fit.
About our clinic
We’ve been caring for companion animals in the Sandringham community for over 30 years and have built long-standing relationships with our clients and their pets.
Our team is supportive, collaborative, and genuinely enjoys working together. Outside of work, it’s not uncommon for the team to catch up for activities like paint and sip nights, and you’ll see their artwork proudly displayed around the clinic. It’s a space that feels personal and lived-in, not just clinical.
We’ve also created areas in the clinic to honour both pets and people who have been part of our journey. From client thank you cards and children’s drawings, to photos of beloved pets and a dedicated space to remember those no longer with us, the clinic reflects the relationships we build every day.
You’ll notice the team often wears colourful scrubs, which clients love and which add to the warm, approachable atmosphere.
