Here at York Vets for Pets we are really proud of the supportive and friendly culture we have cultivated within our team. We place real focus on the well-being of everyone who works for us as well as the fantastic service we provide to our clients and their pets. We currently have a rare opportunity for a Veterinary Nurse to join us on a 12 month FTC with the possibility of it going permanent
About us:
We are an experienced 5 vet team, led by practice owner and Vet Helen. With vets from 5 years to 20 years graduated we enjoy a lot of case discussion and support is never far away. Our vets work alongside a fantastic nursing team consisting of 6 RVNs and 2 SVNs, who are encouraged to utilise their skills as much as possible which means our days run as smoothly as possible.
One area we place particular emphasis on is team well-being. We have a beautiful garden area for the team to enjoy and an indoor colleague area for the colder days. We have a well-being board for the whole team for recognition and to organise social events and have two mental health first-aiders in the team. We hold regular practice and vet meetings to allow everyone chance to input into our ways of working.
We are an RCVS accredited practice and have achieved ‘Outstanding’ status for ‘client service’ and for ‘team and professional responsibility’ from the RCVS in addition to our bronze ISFM accreditation. Our commitment to client care means we have a loyal and friendly client base with a good percentage of insured pets so get to keep cases in house where appropriate.
We also support lots of local community events including school visits, brownies and cubs helping to cement our local reputation.
What our team say the best thing about working for us is:
1. The fact that we have such a considerate, caring, and fair management ethos captained by Helen.
2. Each individuals’ strengths, talent, and personality contribute to what makes this team a ‘family’.
3. The team, job satisfaction, supportive management team.
4. Supportive team, fast-paced, and enjoyable.
5. Caring for patients and clients, support from the team, enjoyability of the work.
6. The team, supportive boss, nice facilities.
7. Family, friends, and job satisfaction.
8. People, relaxed atmosphere, feel like input matters.
9. Friendly, job satisfaction, and family- team.
