Are you a passionate Veterinary Nurse ready to take the next step in your career? Whether you're an experienced leader or a skilled nurse looking for a part-time (37 hours per week) opportunity, we’d love to welcome you to our friendly and supportive team in Lincoln.

At our Lincoln clinic, we pride ourselves on a collaborative, caring culture that places both pets and people at the heart of everything we do. We’re currently looking for two amazing individuals to join our growing team – a full-time or part-time experienced vet nurse (at a senior level) for 3-5 days per week, and a full-time experienced vet nurse working Monday to Friday. Both roles will also work a 1 : 5 rotating Saturday clinic roster.

About the Roles :

Role A - This is a fantastic opportunity for a seasoned nurse with minimum of 3+ years of experience to help guide our nursing team and ensure every patient gets the best possible care. You’ll be confident in handling emergency cases, mentoring junior staff, and working closely with the Clinic Coordinator and our wider network of clinics across Canterbury. You will also contribute to the development and implementation of clinic initiatives, conduct individual staff performance reviews, and collaborate effectively as a key member of the clinic leadership team.

Role B - This part-time (37 hours per week) role is ideal for a qualified veterinary nurse with 1+ years’ post-diploma working experience looking to grow in a clinic that values learning, teamwork, and delivering exceptional patient care. You’ll work across a variety of responsibilities with a team who will support you every step of the way.

Key Responsibilities
