Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
We are seeking an energetic and compassionate veterinary nurse to join our team and provide cover for a maternity role. The successful candidate will be responsible for carrying out general nursing duties, including clinics, anaesthesia, and patient care. This role offers an excellent opportunity to work in a supportive environment with a brilliant team and contributing to the well-being of our animal patients.
This is a full-time position offering 40 hours per week, although we can be flexible and offer as few as 35 hours. The role can be spread across 4 or 5 days per week, with a variety of shift patterns available between the hours of 8:30 am and 7:00 pm. Additionally, there is a 1:5 Saturday rota with Time Off In Lieu (TOIL) available for the following week, and the added benefit of no out-of-hours (OOH) or on-call duties.
What You’ll Bring
We're seeking a qualified RVN with experience in first opinion veterinary care, capable of working independently during certain periods alongside a vet and receptionist. However, it's important to note that this role does not involve sole charge responsibility.
