Welcome and join us in our purpose-built hospital!
We are a RCVS accredited, two-site Primary Care Practice based in Guilford and Haselmere. We provide the highest standard of veterinary care for small animals in a friendly and professional environment. Our practices are continuously updated to ensure that our pets are cared for in the best way possible.
We moved into our purpose-built hospital in 2022 and are excited about what the future holds. Come and join us, be part of this new adventure.
We offer orthopaedic surgeries and have Vets within the team who have a strong interest in exotic patients, featuring a radiography suite and an exotic ward built in the new hospital.
Your role and responsibilities
We are seeking a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) to join us due to one of our RVNs training with us moving on. We are ideally looking for someone on a full-time basis with a 1:5 weekend rota (Saturdays only, following Monday off). Our shifts range from 8am - 5pm or 10:30am - 7:30pm. Most of our nurses work this pattern, but we are flexible and open to longer shifts over 4 days. Part-time applications are also welcomed.
We are a passionate, close-knit team looking forward to meeting a new member of the Alder team. The team truly is everything, and we are always keen to learn new things and give the best to our patients. Once fully staffed, we hope to start introducing schedule 3 procedures for the nurses. We actively encourage RVNs to take on projects and pursue new skills. Working in a purpose-built building has its perks; we have great facilities and would recommend anyone interested to come for a tour!
Located within walking distance of amenities including a spa, gym, coffee shop, and grocery store, we offer great facilities outside the hospital, aiding our work/life balance ethos.
Developing and empowering our nurses is important to us. You will have access to over 150 hours of pre-recorded CPD delivered by our expert clinicians and nurses. All of our nurses receive a robust induction to help you thrive in your new role. Additionally, you will have access to modular courses on various topics, including our AVA-accredited anaesthesia and analgesia modular course.
