Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
White Cross Vets are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Balby, Doncaster. This role is based at our busy first opinion practice alongside our fantastic team of certificate holders in a range of different disciplines.
What the day looks like?
On an average day you will be assisting the vets during surgical procedures, monitoring anaesthesia, and dealing with post-operative recovery. Providing in-patient care, carrying out diagnostic tests, conducting nurse clinics, and assisting with dental hygiene procedures are some of the responsibilities. Should you be looking for further support and development (certificates, training etc.), we can accommodate this.
Fix or flex – find your perfect balance
This role is 30 hours per week; however, we're also keen to hear from those looking for something more flexible. We are currently open 08:00 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday mornings, and therefore you would be required to work a share of these.

Our front of house team has fantastic relationships with our clients and keeps all vets and nurses organized. As a team, we work to a very high standard of care, routinely conducting clinical audits to ensure patient safety is our top priority. We ensure we find time for wellbeing and team building, including Wellbeing afternoons in the clinic.
