Veterinary Nurse

Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary – Brighton TAS Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is an ethical tourism enterprise, dedicated to the conservation of native species through wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, education, and experiences that connect people and wildlife. Our Wildlife Rescue Service handles thousands of calls for injured, orphaned and displaced animals each year, including many that have been the victims of cat attacks. Our patients include endemic and migratory species, some of which are listed as endangered and found nowhere else on planet Earth. ‘Feline Fix ’ is the name of our cat desexing program; a proactive conservation initiative aimed at stemming the tide of feral, unwanted and free‑roaming cats. In response to the devastating toll that cats have on our native wildlife, we provide heavily discounted desexing, microchipping and vaccination services to owners who demonstrate responsible cat ownership and containment. To support the ongoing delivery of Feline Fix, we are looking to appoint a fixed‑term, part‑time Veterinary Nurse to work one day a week from our recently constructed cat clinic.
