Veterinary Nurse - Greencross Smithfield

Greencross Smithfield | Part‑time or Full‑time

A supportive, collaborative clinic where good care (and good humour) go hand in hand

Are you a Certificate IV qualified Veterinary Nurse looking for a clinic where teamwork is genuine, workloads are manageable, and patient care is never rushed?

At Greencross Smithfield, we’re proud to offer a welcoming, low‑stress environment where people truly enjoy working together. We like to laugh, we support one another, and we focus on doing what’s right for our patients and clients, every time.

Why you’ll love working at Smithfield

A team that genuinely has each other’s backs

If we could clone anyone here… it would be everyone. Each team member brings knowledge, experience, and positivity, and we genuinely enjoy coming to work together. Collaboration is natural, help is always available, and no one is left to struggle alone.

People who thrive here tend to bring:

• A great sense of humour
• A positive outlook
• A genuine passion for animal care

Thoughtful, stress‑free patient care

One example that really captures who we are involves an extremely nervous dog. The team organised a series of “happy visits” to slowly build trust, followed by a special Saturday appointment with no other animals present. Creating a calm, stress‑free experience for both dog and owner.

That’s how we work: patience, creativity, and genuine care.

Interesting medicine, well supported

Our clinic handles a wide range of cases, supported by visiting veterinarians who provide:

• Specialist ultrasound services
• Orthopaedic expertise

We also have vets with special interests in:

• Feline medicine and surgery
• Ultrasound
• Wildlife care

You’ll have time to properly work up cases, supported by tools like Heidi AI for efficient case notes, allowing you to focus on nursing, not paperwork.

Facilities you’ll be proud to work with

• Well‑equipped dental suite
• Digital X‑ray
• Ultrasound capabilities
• A calm, organised clinic set up to support quality care

Work‑life balance is a priority

We actively encourage our team to make time for family, friends, and life outside work. Smithfield is known for being a supportive, less stressful environment compared to many clinics, and that’s by design.

About the role

• Part‑time or Full‑time opportunity
• Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing required
• Saturday work on rotation (approximately 1 in every 3–4 weeks)
• Collaborative nursing role across consults, procedures, patient care, and client support

Why Greencross?

You’ll enjoy the close‑knit feel of the Smithfield team, with the backing of the wider Greencross network, including:

• Ongoing training and development
• A strong focus on mental health and wellbeing
• Excellent staff discounts
• Career pathways and support across the network

Why join Smithfield instead of the clinic down the road?

Because here, you’ll be supported, listened to, and given time to do your job properly, without the constant pressure or chaos.

If you’re looking for a clinic where patients come first, teamwork is real, and you can actually enjoy your days, we’d love to hear from you.
