Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
Our wonderful team at Robson & Prescott Veterinary Surgeons are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join them.
Overview
As part of our large and dynamic nursing team, based in a purpose-built veterinary hospital, you’ll have the opportunity to work across all clinical areas. You will collaborate with both the vet and nurse teams to provide exceptional care to our patients, including both companion and exotic species. We’re looking for an RVN who is comfortable working in a busy hospital environment and independently at branch surgeries, although full training and support will be provided to candidates without hospital experience.
About the practice
We are a mixed animal practice with a strong focus on exotics. Our spacious hospital is located on the outskirts of Morpeth, Northumberland, near the coast and countryside. We also have 7 branch surgeries across the region. Our team comprises 25 vets, 25 RVNs, 7 SVNs, and 6 VCAs, supported by certificate holders in orthopaedics, exotics, behaviour, acupuncture & analgesia, and dentistry. Our nursing team includes certificate holders in exotics, dentistry, feline nursing, and nutrition, with others working towards qualifications. We maintain a close-knit team with a dedicated wellbeing group and regular social and charitable events. Our award-winning, purpose-built hospital is fully equipped with 4 theatres, separate dental, imaging, and radiography suites, individual wards for cats, dogs, exotics, and small mammals, a hydrotherapy room, and facilities for equine and farm animal hospitalisation.
Working pattern
This is a full-time role working 40 hours per week across 5 days with a share of weekend and out of hours shifts. The role may also involve a share of branch surgery rotations, and we may be able to support a flexible working pattern. We are open to discussing part-time working options to suit you.
