Registered Veterinary Nurse at Fenton Vets, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire
Practice:
We are looking for an RVN to add to our current team of 10 nurses who provide a wide range of nursing services to a modern, busy small animal department.
The role includes:
1. Consultations
2. Inpatient care
3. Animal handling
4. Sample collection
5. Anaesthetic monitoring
6. Lab work
7. And much more.
You may work up to 37.5 hours/week. All nurses contribute equally to the on-call rota supporting the team of 11 SA vets. Our opening hours are 8:00 am - 6:30 pm Monday – Thursday, 8:00 am – 5:30 pm Friday, and 8:00 am – 1:00 pm Saturday. Between 10:00 pm and 8:00 am each night, calls are diverted to MiNightVet, so it is extremely unusual for your on-call work to fall within these hours.
Our annual salary scale starts at £24,850 for a newly qualified RVN, plus pension, CPD, etc.
About the work and our facilities:
We aim for excellent customer service and practice to a high clinical standard, so we invest in staff, facilities, and equipment to meet these evolving targets. We have a truly mixed clientele and a rewarding and varied caseload. Being the vet for our local charity brings its own variety of work and significant neutering volume.
We are a nurse training practice, and although we are yet to put ourselves through the RCVS PSS scheme, we set ourselves the aim to be of a hospital level (without being on-site overnight) at our main site in Haverfordwest, and Tier 2 at the Pembroke Dock branch. We have achieved ISFM cat-friendly status: gold in Haverfordwest and bronze in Pembroke Dock.
Haverfordwest has four consulting rooms, plus a dedicated cat room and quiet room. Separate dog, cat, and isolation wards. Central prep room leading to two sterile theatres, a separate dedicated dental room, and a separate X-ray suite. Our lab room has the latest suite of kit for haematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis from IDEXX. We have digital X-ray, digital dental X-ray, gastroscope, 4mm bronchoscopy/rhinoscope, ultrasound with colour doppler, ECG, MMP TTA, etc. The Pembroke Dock branch has three consulting rooms, a prep with recovery kennels, theatre, and a main inpatient ward.
To apply, please send a CV and Cover letter to practice.manager@fentonvets.co.uk. We will review all applicants after the closing date.
Closing Date: December 15th, 2024.
