Emergency Veterinary Nurse

About PVE
Perth Vet Emergency (PVE) is a fast-paced and progressive 24-hour emergency service with our state-of-the-art Cannington Clinic opened in August 2023 in addition to our renowned PVE Yokine clinic. We are a trusted leader in Emergency and Critical Care for small animals and our vision is to set the highest possible standard for ECC medicine in Australia. We have an inclusive and compassionate team of Client Care Representatives, Management, Nurses, and Veterinarians.
  
About the Role
Given the unplanned nature of emergency and critical care cases, our Nursing team are highly trained to manage a variety of situations with varying complexity. This includes severe trauma, complex medical and surgical cases, and mechanical ventilation. We deliver high quality training through structured induction programs, mentoring, regular Nurse team-based training, case studies and intensive care development programs.
  
PVE Nursing team members have the support of a dedicated client care team to primarily liaise with our clients so you can focus on enriching our patient’s treatment and experience with us. We are committed to working as a team to deliver high quality results for our clients and patients, as well as learning from each other and having fun in the process!
