Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
We have a great opportunity for an experienced Veterinary Nurse to join the team here at our Bradley Stoke Hospital to experience an interesting and varied case load in a supportive and collaborative hospital environment.
What you will bring
We are looking for someone who will thrive in a bustling hospital environment as part of a large friendly team. Our team has a big focus on coaching and development in the hospital and we are looking for someone who enjoys developing others and is willing to help to train our student veterinary nurses. We encourage personal development (including funding certificates where desired) and a collaborative working culture where we can share ideas and support each other.
Find a place to excel
Our tier 3 RCVS accredited hospital provides excellent facilities including digital x-ray, dental x-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy and more. You will join a well-established team of 10 other Veterinary nurses, 3 students, several experienced veterinary care assistants and a fantastic receptionist team.
Be part of something exceptional
You will enjoy a varied rota working a 5-day week, working 8 hour shifts between 7.30AM and 9PM on a rota pattern. Working this rota will develop your nursing skills as you will work with our dedicated inpatient team on a ward shift, cover operations or procedures and experience running your own nursing clinics list. You will participate in our weekend day rota, where you will work the Saturday and Sunday shift in the hospital which provides our Emergency Veterinary Service for our Rowe clients as well as several other Bristol practices. This is on a 1:6 pattern, for which days off the following week are given to provide you a long weekend after.
As part of the team at Rowe, you will benefit from support from our referral department who offer services in Medicine, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics, Surgery, Oncology, Imaging, Neurology and Dentistry. We also have our own dedicated and experienced OOH team providing continuity for patients.
