Come and join our fantastic practice!
Our clinic has an established client base, and our team are passionate about providing gold standard care to our clients and their pets. We take pleasure in being able to offer a full range of first opinion veterinary services at affordable prices.
Easipetcare, Dartford is a large and modern practice with 3 consult rooms; a dedicated x-ray and ultrasound room; a large modern theatre and prep room.
Our friendly team consists of 3 Veterinary Surgeons, 1 Head Veterinary Nurse, 2 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 1 Student Veterinary Nurse, and 1 Animal Nursing Assistant who are supported by our wonderfully efficient Receptionists.
This is a unique opportunity to join a super friendly team in an ideal location that is easily commutable from London.
What will the role involve?
Our Registered Veterinary Nurses are the backbone of our practice and generally have a hand in most areas of the day-to-day operations, which include carrying out schedule 3 procedures (subject to appropriate training), anaesthesia monitoring, scrubbing in, looking after our inpatient care, carrying out various types of nurse clinics, completing laboratory duties, and more! There will also be some reception duties when needed, such as taking telephone calls/inpatient enquiries, stock control, and ordering and unpacking orders.
The Rota
We try to keep things interesting here at Easipetcare, so our Registered Veterinary Nurses typically work full time, 40 hours per week, across 4/5 days, consisting of either an early shift (8:00 am to 4:30 pm) or a late shift (11:00 am to 7:30 pm). Our Nurses also work 1 in 3 Saturdays and in turn receive time off in lieu the following week, and there is no OOH.
However, we know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career, and we want to make it easy for you to strike the right balance. Whether you are looking to fix or flex your work patterns, we can find the right solution for you. Part-time applicants are also welcome.
