The Rota
We try to keep things interesting/varied here at Easipetcare. 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. There is no OOH.
However, we know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career, and we want to make it brilliantly 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.
