Join our supportive team at Alcombe Vets, Ealing.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse, or 3rd Year Student Veterinary Nurse, to join our team at Ealing. You will have plenty of support to thrive in this role working on a rotation between Ops, Consultations, and Inpatient Care. However, we are flexible, and the position can be tailored to your interests. For example, if you prefer consulting or ops and inpatient care or nurse clinics, we can allow you to focus on any areas you wish to. There is also the opportunity for this to be a roving position within the Alcombe Vets Group if desired.
Alcombe Vets is a Nurse training practice, and you will be working alongside an experienced team of 2 Veterinary Surgeons, 2 Nurses, a Practice Manager, and a dedicated receptionist team. We benefit from specialist surgeons regularly visiting the Practice to provide orthopaedic procedures and laparoscopy services and offer EMS placements for Vet Students.
Work-life balance that tips the scale - No OOH.
We welcome both full and part-time applicants. Typically, our RVNs work full-time, carrying out a 40-hour week over 4 or 5 days. 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. Therefore, we can discuss and offer condensed hours/days that work for you and can consider term-time only hours. There are no OOH.
