Explore your full potential
Blackness Vets has an exciting opportunity for a proactive and dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team and provide excellent clinical care for our patients and support the veterinary team. Your day-to-day duties and responsibilities will include:
1. Carrying out consultations
2. Theatre work
3. Lab diagnostics
4. Assisting with radiographs
5. Assisting with laparoscopic procedures
6. Maintaining stock

You will enjoy working as part of a busy team and possess the confidence to work within a smaller team as the position may require the successful candidate to support our branch clinics if requested.

Fix or flex - work life balance that works for you
Our flexible approach to rota patterns can truly enrich your work life balance. Whether you need to do the school pick up, need reduced hours during school holidays, or would simply like a more flexible rota pattern, we can fix or flex our patterns to suit your needs.
We are open to candidates looking for a full-time or part-time role that can be tailored to meet your needs, with a maximum of 37.5 hours per week, with 1:6 Saturdays (paid in lieu), and we're happy to offer the flexibility of a 4- or 5-day week depending on your preference.
