Greencross Silkstone-Booval/ Ipswich | Permanent Full-Time or Part-Time Vet Nurse Opportunities Available

We’re on the lookout for passionate, skilled, and compassionate Veterinary Nurses to join our wonderful team across our Silkstone-Booval and Ipswich clinics.

Help us continue delivering the highest standard of care to our patients while being part of a genuinely supportive and collaborative team.

About Our Clinics

Our Silkstone - Booval clinic has proudly supported the local community for over 30 years. Originally known as Silkstone Vet Hospital, we evolved into Greencross Silkstone and, in 2021, moved into a modern, co-located clinic within Booval Shopping Centre, right alongside Petbarn, allowing us to offer a complete, convenient pet care experience. Our Ipswich Clinic was opened in 2019, located at Riverlink Shopping Centre alongside Petbarn.

We’re proud to have a loyal, multi-generational client base, with families trusting us through the lifetimes of multiple pets.

Our team is made up of long-standing staff, many of whom began their journey with us as trainees, students, or interns. We are passionate about developing our people, and our culture reflects that—supportive, approachable, and genuinely invested in one another.
