Are you a Registered Veterinary Nurse who enjoys a varied role? Would you like to run your own consultations and perform Schedule 3 procedures?
We encourage our nurses to work to their full potential and take on responsibilities as they feel able. This approach provides great job satisfaction, invaluable experience, and training for the future. We value the skills that nurses bring to the clinic and promote initiative and autonomy. The practice is keen to increase nurse involvement in client consultations, so an interest in this (though not essential) would be highly advantageous.
Our RCVS registered Tier 3 hospital is fully equipped, including dental x-ray and ultrasound facilities. We also have a dedicated theatre suite with two theatres, offering a wide range of orthopaedic, soft tissue, and diagnostic procedures. We are a Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic, with cat-only waiting areas and wards in both surgical and hospital areas.
This is a full-time position working 37.5 hours a week, including 1:4 weekends (with TOIL). The shifts are on a rota and will vary across the clinic (a mix of early and late shifts), allowing you to gain experience and confidence in all areas of general practice. There are no night shifts, as we have a dedicated night team. We are ideally looking for someone with hospital experience or someone eager to develop in that area, but we are also open to newly qualified nurses. As a nurse training practice, we utilize our nurses to their full potential and support career development. You will be trained to place catheters, take bloods, and assist with anaesthetics, with opportunities to develop in Schedule 3 procedures. We are expanding our expertise in exotics and have had some interesting cases!
Our standard benefits include:
* 25 days of annual leave plus Bank Holidays (or equivalent), with our Buy/Sell holiday scheme allowing you to purchase an additional two weeks of leave
* Generous CPD funding and opportunities for internal and external development courses
* An extra day of leave each year for the first five years at CVS
* Cycle to work scheme and subsidised gym membership
* Enhanced maternity, paternity, and adoption pay
* Employee Assistance Programme
* Pension scheme with automatic enrolment
* Access to First Aid for Mental Health and Wellbeing Champions
* Colleague discounts on pet products and treatments, including free consultations and discounts on drugs and online pharmacy
