Night Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
New Priory Vets has a 24/7 hospital in Brighton and a branch surgery in Peacehaven. Our main hospital in Brighton provides primary care, an emergency out-of-hours (OOH) service for 13 local practices and offers a mid-tier referral service for surgery, laparoscopy, imaging, and cardiology.
Excited by emergency work but put off by the prospect of long night shifts and an unsustainable working pattern? We have the answer! This position would require OOH shifts (a mixture of 4:30pm-1am and 10pm-9am), with 2 in 5 weekends and an average of 35 hours per week. Our nurses enjoy an excellent work-life balance.
The role will involve triaging and assisting the vet with new emergencies as well as providing continuous care for inpatients and referral cases. We are looking for a nurse who is enthusiastic about emergency and critical care nursing and ideally has some experience in this field (although not necessarily in a sole-charge or out-of-hours capacity). The ideal candidate will have a desire to achieve high clinical standards and client care. Exceptional care and communication are at the heart of who we are and how we act with our clients and colleagues alike. Most of all, they should have a team mentality as we are a close-knit, friendly practice.
