Job description

• Ensure the provision of a high quality and continually improving standard of nursing care.
• Assist the veterinary surgeon in theatre and during consultations, as and when required.

• Ensure a high standard of comfort and welfare for all pets in our care.
• Complete and maintain accurate records of hospitalised patients.
• Maintain a respectful and collaborative team environment.
• Ensure equipment is cleaned, packed, sterilised and stored correctly when not in use.

• Assist with the induction of new staff and their subsequent training.
• Provide reception duties, as required, ensuring a friendly and efficient handling of clients and their pets, in person, by email and over the telephone.
• Support student nurses as a clinical supervisor.

Now let’s get to the nitty gritty, here is what we offer you:

Our RVN salary band is £32,000 to £35,000 FTE (full‑time equivalent based on 40 hours per week) depending on prior experience and allowing room for growth within the role.

• 6.6 weeks annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata)

• Paid 30‑minute lunch breaks
• The opportunity to join our private medical healthcare scheme at a reduced rate, plus medical cashback incentives
