Gatehouse Vets are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join their close-knit team at their Bingley branch.
The Next Step in Your Career
As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, you will be responsible for carrying out general nursing duties within the practice, including conducting nurse appointments. You will assist with the admission and discharge of patients, administer treatments such as injections, medications, and dressings, and dispense medication as prescribed by the veterinary surgeon. We are proud to offer a varied caseload, including orthopaedics and some exotic cases, as we have a few Veterinary Surgeons currently completing certificates in these areas.

We are committed to personal development, with a Veterinary Surgeon holding a certificate in feline medicine and another with a Fear Free certificate. We actively encourage further development and provide support for additional qualifications. Our experienced nursing team also holds certificates in Emergency and Critical Care, Advanced Feline Nursing, Dentistry, and Exotics.

Working hours will be Monday to Friday, between 7:30 AM and 7:30 PM, with one Saturday morning (8:00 AM - 1:00 PM) every four weeks. There are no out-of-hours responsibilities for this position.
