Willows Veterinary Centre and Referral Service is one of the leading small animal referral centres in the world, having been delivering the highest possible standard of pet healthcare for over 30 years.
Our vision is to provide an unrivalled clinical, patient, client, and team experience that is recognised for excellence worldwide. Our values centre around the care of our patients, our clients, our referring vets, each other, and the environment to make a Better World for Pets.
About the Role
We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for a dedicated RVN to join our wonderful oncology team here at Willows Veterinary Hospital. This role is perfect for an RVN with at least one year of post-qualification experience. If you have additional relevant qualifications or previous experience in a referral setting, that's a bonus, but certainly not a requirement! We're committed to your success, so full training and support will be provided every step of the way.
The role of the Oncology Nurse is critical in helping us provide the highest standards of care to both our clients and patients. You'll work within the medical oncology team at the clinic, helping to coordinate the team and their cases. When the oncology caseload allows, you'll also have the chance to assist with internal medical cases.
Understanding and following Health and Safety protocols for our oncology patients is a crucial part of this position – we'll make sure you're fully trained and comfortable with everything. Working closely with everyone across the hospital is essential to ensure we can care for all our patients as efficiently as possible. We're truly committed to excellence and providing a 5-star experience for both our clients and patients at all times. All of our nursing team shares the responsibility of maintaining high hygiene standards, caring for our equipment, and managing stock effectively.
Does this sound like a fulfilling next step in your career? We'd love to hear from you!
