We have a rare opportunity for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team. The role will involve all general veterinary nursing duties including inpatients, surgery, and consultations across both of our sites.
About us
We have two clinics located on either side of Crystal Palace in South London, with excellent transport links. Both sites offer the same high level of equipment and care, and have been established for over 50 years, making us a well-integrated part of the community.
Our clinics are equipped with digital x-ray, dental x-ray, ultrasounds, endoscopy, multiparameter monitors, in-house IDEXX lab machines for haematology, biochemistry, electrolytes, and urinalysis. Additional equipment includes a Tonopen, ECG, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximetry, and basic orthopaedic kits.
Join a supportive team
Our team comprises our Head Nurse, Practice Manager, and seven vets. Each clinic has a dedicated receptionist and veterinary care assistants supporting a nursing team of five.
We foster a friendly, positive, and supportive workplace where everyone's contributions are valued, and knowledge sharing is encouraged.
