Job description

Join a team where your work truly makes a difference for clients, animals and the wider community. At VetSouth, we are more than a vet clinic, we're a trusted partner for clients across Southland and Otago.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us?

At VetSouth, you’ll be part of a team that lives its purpose — building better outcomes for animals, people, and communities. We’re here for good, driven by genuine care, teamwork, and a commitment to doing things the right way. When you join us, you become part of a supportive, down-to‑earth team that values innovation, growth, and making a real difference every day.

We are :

  • Innovative - always looking for new and better ways to do things
  • Professional and vibrant - our enthusiasm is contagious!
  • Varied and dynamic - no two days are the same!

About the Role

We are looking for a dedicated Veterinary Nurse to join our Invercargill Companion Animal Team on a fixed term contract to cover a period of parental leave.

This is a full-time (40 hours per week) position and includes participation in the weeknight and weekend on-call roster.

Your responsibilities will include :

  • Surgical nursing including hospital prep / care, anaesthetics and animal handling
  • Vet nurse consults and client education
  • Collecting and submitting diagnostic samples
  • Digital radiography and imaging
  • Fluid therapy and IV catheter placement
  • You will have :

  • Diploma in Veterinary Nursing (or equivalent)
  • Strong communication and client‑care skills
  • Eagerness to learn and ability to adapt to changing priorities calmly and efficiently
  • A friendly personality and enjoy being part of a well‑functioning team
  • An organised, energetic, and motivated approach
  • Whether you’re an experienced nurse or a recent graduate, if you’re passionate about animal care and want to work in a supportive environment that values teamwork and growth, we’d love to hear from you.

    Just as important as what we do is how we do it — we love what we do, get the job done right, stay one step ahead, and are always in it together.

    Apply now to join a team that’s here for good.
