We are an internationally acknowledged referral centre of excellence for specialist veterinary care. Our RCVS accredited practice offers access to one of the largest groups of veterinary specialists within the UK and Europe. We are continuously aiming to provide the highest standards of medical and surgical care for our patients within a caring and compassionate environment.
Our team consists of over 60 Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVN) and 31 recognised specialists in surgery internal medicine, ophthalmology, oncology, neurology, cardiology, dentistry, diagnostic imaging and anaesthesia.
Your role and responsibilities
We require a full-time RVN to join our day nursing team. Shifts run between 7.30am to 8.30pm Monday to Friday, with weekend duties once every 6 weeks on a 40 hour/week basis.
You will work as part of our large, multi-disciplinary team consisting of fellow RVN’s, Clinicians, Residents, Interns, and Nursing Assistants. You will see a large and varied caseload, allowing you to work within an exceptional team and develop your career whilst being exposed to cases from a variety of disciplines. This is a rewarding and challenging role that will require teamwork and dedication to each service and their patients.
You will rotate through different department in our hospital and utilise the nursing skills for which you have trained. Working within one of our five Wards, Diagnostics or Theatre.
We have a team of night nurses, so there will be no regular night shifts. Referral experience is not essential as full training is given within a comprehensive induction programme. As our services continue to expand, we have exciting opportunities available for RVNs.
Nursing Pathways, our innovative new nursing structure, places an emphasis on individualised career progression opportunities, whilst maintaining and developing your veterinary nursing skills.
This is an opportunity not to be missed for friendly, enthusiastic nurses wishing to develop their career.
