We are seeking an enthusiastic Registered Veterinary Nurse eager to advance their career by joining our highly skilled and supportive team at Abington Park Referrals.
Advance Your Skills
As a Referral Surgical Nurse, you’ll play a vital role in preparing patients for surgery, managing surgical kits, and assisting in anaesthesia for a wide range of cases, including orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries. Your day will include conducting imaging procedures such as X-rays, CT, and MRI, and you’ll have opportunities to scrub in during surgeries. In late shifts, you’ll handle consults and discharges, ensuring exceptional patient care throughout. This varied and dynamic role offers a chance to be deeply involved in all aspects of surgical nursing within a supportive, well-equipped environment.
Work With Excellent Facilities
This role is based at our state-of-the-art Referral Hospital, equipped with advanced facilities, including an in-house laboratory staffed by a dedicated lab technician, CT and MRI imaging, and a specialised medical team supporting the surgical department.

About You
We’re looking for someone with a keen interest in surgery and anaesthesia, ideally with referral experience, though we welcome applications from all experience levels. You’ll thrive in a hands-on environment, demonstrating a proactive approach to patient care and a genuine enthusiasm for diagnostic imaging and advanced procedures. If you’re eager to learn, grow, and contribute to a collaborative team, we’d love to hear from you.

This role ideally requires full-time commitment, spanning 40 hours weekly across 5 days, with shifts scheduled between 7:30 am to 7:30 pm and 1:8 Saturday mornings. We are open to discussing a 4-day working week or part-time applications.
