Would you like to join our nursing team here at Millennium? We are looking for a nurse to cover a maternity absence, starting in April. With a team of 10 registered nurses, Student Nurses, and ward assistants, we pride ourselves on being a friendly, supportive, approachable, and caring team and invite RVNs of all abilities to apply.
Established in 1966, we are a fully equipped first opinion and referral independent practice with 10 veterinary surgeons and a large support team. We are internally supported by Mental Health First Aiders and HR reps for our different staff groups.
Our nurses are heavily involved in all areas of the practice: from our wards and theatres to nurse consulting and diagnostic work. Our referral work covers dermatology, oncology, orthopaedics, and soft tissue. Our CT scanner, electrochemotherapy, and companion regenerative therapy are just some of the additional services MVP offers.
We encourage our RVNs to explore and develop their areas of interest and fund CPD. At present, our RVN team has further qualifications in ECC, feline nursing, nutrition, behaviour, and exotics. We are also a VN Training Practice and have a team of clinical supervisors supporting our Diploma and Degree placement students.
This is a full-time position (37.5hrs over 4 or 5 days), but we will consider part-time workers, with 1:11 weekends (with lunch provided!) and paid overtime, with the Monday off after your weekend. Only 1 bank holiday cover every 2 years (yes, 2 years!). Depending on the experience of the candidate, full-time hours can be worked as a 4-day week. A competitive annual salary is dependent on experience, between £27,000-£30,000. Annual RCVS registration fees and BVNA membership fees are also paid.
What’s more, we are in Braintree, Essex! The practice itself is less than ½ mile from Freeport Outlet Shopping Village, Braintree Retail Park, and Braintree Fitness and Swimming Centre. We have very easy access to the surrounding area being on the Norwich to London Liverpool Trainline, with 2 train stations in Braintree. Braintree is equally placed between the cities of Colchester and Chelmsford, both ½ an hour away. The A12 and A120 are on our doorstep and within easy reach of the M11 and M25. Stansted Airport is only 20 minutes away.
We are close to the Chelmsford City Racecourse and Hylands (which means festivals galore including the V-Festival and Clockstock!) and if you are a cricket fan, then Chelmsford is the home of the Essex County Cricket Club. We’re also lucky enough to have good primary and secondary schools, local colleges, Writtle University College, and both Chelmsford and Colchester Universities close by.
You can find out more about us on our website, by following us on Facebook, and even better come and meet us all and have a tour of our practice!
