At Millburn Vets, we're seeking a compassionate Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our growing practice in the heart of Coleraine.
Millburn Vets is a welcoming, single-site practice nestled in the heart of Coleraine, where we primarily care for dogs, cats, and small furries. Our modern facility includes three consulting rooms, dedicated wards for cats and dogs, two separate day procedure areas, a prep room, an operating theatre, and an imaging room - all designed to ensure the highest standard of care.
Our skilled nursing team is proud to run their own consultations, offering services like general health checks, weight management clinics, laser therapy, physiotherapy, nail trims, and gland care. They also play a vital role in assisting our vets during surgeries, which are generally routine, with advanced orthopedic or imaging cases referred as necessary.
We are dedicated to giving back to the community. We regularly work alongside local charities, including Air Ambulance and the Doddie Aid Challenge, as part of our commitment to creating a positive impact.
