Form of work- 24/7 RCVS accredited OOH hospital and referral centre
- Family run award-winning practice
- 7 on, 14 off, shift pattern
- Fantastic educational and career progression opportunities
About us:
Set up by our JVPs, Keith and Julie Leonard in 2012, we are a family run, RCVS Accredited Hospital and Emergency Service Clinic, providing OOH and referral support to 19 referring surgeries. This is run alongside a thriving first opinion business meaning we get the best of both worlds: the case variety you expect to find in a busy general practice and the opportunity to provide high quality, advanced, referral level care to our patients in-house.
With an experienced team of 67 colleagues, an abundance of qualifications in a range of disciplines (ECC, Small Animal Surgery, Medicine and Dentistry) and a fantastic management network to provide support and progression opportunities we really believe there is no better team to be a part of.
The role:
You will be working as part of a highly skilled and experienced night nursing team. All of our night team either hold or are working towards certificates and we actively encourage and support our team in their career aspirations.
The rota is a 7 on (8pm- 8am), 14 off shift pattern. We have 1 vet and a VCA in all night and the night nurse shift is also supported with an additional, overlapping ‘twighlight’ nurse who works until 12pm.
With an exciting and complex caseload you will regularly be involved with cases requiring Oesophageal tube placements, Nasogastric tube placements, Seldinger Chest Drains,
Silicone Abdominal Peritoneal Drains, Pig tail urinary catheters, Negative Pressure Wound Therapy and Endoscopy, to name a few. Experience of ECC is preferred but not critical.
You will be joining a team of 19 RVN's (3 night nurses), 8 SVN's and 8 VCA's who support our 16 vets.
Most importantly we are looking for someone who will embrace our team culture in which we have fun at work, get better everyday and look out for each other.
In addition to a salary of £27k+(DOE) we offer the excellent benefits package you would expect from a leading veterinary employer including:
- In-house support and training from certificate holders- Vet and Nurse
- Paid memberships- RCVS, VDS, BVNA
- Generous CPD allowance and support development of specific interests
- Pension, income protection, life insurance
- 20% off at all the Pets at Home group including Pets at Home, Vets4Pets and the Groom Room
- Access to Our reward hub giving exclusive discounts across a range of high street retails, supermarkets and more
