Come and join our fantastic practice
We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our well-equipped practice based in Dartford. You will be joining a strong nursing team with over 75 years of combined nursing experience. 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. If you are looking to join a super friendly team in an ideal location that is easily commutable from London, then this role is for you.
What will the role involve?
Our Registered Veterinary Nurses are the absolute backbone of our practice and generally have a hand in most areas of the day-to-day, 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 much 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/varied 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 (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 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.
