Are you a Registered Veterinary Nurse looking to take the next step in your career-or soon to qualify and eager to get started? We'd love to welcome you to our friendly, dedicated team at Abivale Veterinary Group. With four well-established practices across South Oxfordshire, we're proud to provide outstanding small animal care, including 24-hour emergency services.
What's the Role?
This is a hands-on, varied nursing position where you'll be involved in all areas of patient care. You'll work across our surgeries in Abingdon, Didcot, Wallingford, and Wantage, supporting a range of clinical activities including anaesthesia, radiology, ultrasonography, inpatient care, and general nursing duties. The role includes laboratory work using our in-house diagnostics equipment, and you'll be an integral part of maintaining high standards of patient and client care.
Your Schedule
You'll work a 40-hour week across 5 days, with 8-hour shifts. Weekends and bank holidays are worked on a shared rota basis, with time off in lieu provided. There's no out-of-hours requirement, as we have a dedicated night team covering this service.
