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.

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 are responsible for 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.

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 basic salary.

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

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

CPD is funded, RCVS annual fees are paid.
