We are looking for experienced, passionate and motivated veterinary nurses to come work day shift in a 24 hour small animal and exotic hospital.

Hong Kong is a vibrant Asian city; it is easy to get around and there is so much to do: a great night life, fabulous food, local culture, arts, beaches and beautiful natural countryside. Travel to China, Thailand and other exotic countries which are only a short trip away.

Due to our hospital expansion we are looking for two more qualified vet nurses to join our nursing team. We see a wide range of species within our hospital; these include dogs, cats, rabbits, terrapins, tortoises, birds, chinchillas, guinea pigs, lizards and even the odd goat or pig. The ideal candidate should be highly motivated, enthusiastic, fun and have a positive personality. It is an ideal opportunity to work with highly experienced and exotic certified veterinary specialists.

Job requirements:

  • Be able to provide a high level of nursing care in our busy hospital and a high level of surgical and anesthetic support in surgery.
