All applicants will be considered however experience within the industry is preferred.
There is a casual opportunity for a veterinary nurse or technician in our Naracoorte Clinic which is a purpose built clinic with x-ray, ultrasound, sterile surgery, inhouse Idexx blood machines and equine facilities.
