This position is for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to work at our Surgical Referral Centre.

We have a fantastic, professional team of RVN's who support each other and work to a very high standard of care.

Due to an expanding workload and maternity leave we are looking for an additional RVN to join this team, personality and a willingness to learn is of more importance to us than previous surgical nursing experience.

We offer excellent training and support for RVN's making the step from first opinion to a surgical referral workplace. We appreciate this can be daunting but we are here to support you all the way.

The referral centre has an interesting case load including total hip replacements, fracture repairs and spinal surgery. We are fortunate to have both MRI & CT Scanners on-site, as well as a hydrotherapy treadmill and a visiting veterinary physiotherapist.

Our RVN's take part with in-patient care (something we take very seriously), preparing theatres, taking & running blood samples, placing IV Catheters, preparing the patients for theatre, monitoring anaesthesia, assisting the surgeons during consultations and surgery.

This is a true nursing position, putting your RVN training to full use.

Full time position:

4 days per week working 8am – 6.30pm with a lunch break, 1 Weekend in 4 on-call.  Call outs are paid in addition to the starting salary of £30,000 per annum.

Some overnight stays are required and are also paid in addition to the starting salary.

Bank Holiday on-call and overnight stays are arranged fairly between all the RVN's.

CPD is funded and definitely encouraged, RCVS annual fees are paid.
