Enjoy a challenge and are dedicated to animal welfare? Due to the expansion of our experienced veterinary nursing team we are looking for a qualified nurse to join one of our rescue centres either near Chengdu, China, or in Tam Dao national Park, Vietnam. Location to be confirmed
This is an outstanding opportunity for motivated individuals pursuing a career in wildlife care and welfare. The Veterinary Nurse will work as part of a highly skilled Veterinary Team to ensure the care of Asiatic Black bears (Moon Bears) and domestic animals at one of our rescue centres. Appointment is full-time, five (5) days a week with some duty weekend work applicable and out of hours work may be required.
Candidates should be highly motivated with plenty of initiative and comfortable with both clinical and non-clinical work. There is a high degree of autonomy in this position, and whilst you will work closely with other team members you will have distinct areas of responsibility. You will contribute to the constantly evolving field of bear medicine and management and will be expected to have a high degree of clinical skill and a passion for ongoing self-education. Experience in captive wildlife management or rehabilitation work is preferred and senior nursing and administrative experience is beneficial but not essential. You should be comfortable working in a remote environment in a small community.
Ideally you should have between three (3) and five (5) years work experience in a large mixed veterinary practice, wildlife rehabilitation centre or zoo or specialist referral center. However, less experienced candidates with the appropriate personal attributes will be considered.
