We are looking to recruit an RVN to join our wonderful team at Spring Lodge Vets on a full time basis, although we are open to both full time and part time cover.
We are a RCVS accredited small animal hospital in Witham, Essex with 5 other accredited branches all a short drive from the hospital. Three of these branches are ‘stand-alone’ branches with facilities to image and operate. The other two branches are ‘consulting only’ branches which feed into the main hospital. The hospital has a full in-house lab, separate isolation, cat and dog wards. We have an orthopaedic theatre, lots of surgical kit including laparoscopic equipment and various endoscopes. All x-ray machines are digital, 3 of the sites have an ultrasound machine. We are also proud to be an ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic as well as a RWAF Rabbit Friendly Clinic. The main hospital in Witham is in walkable distance to a main line train station for easy access to London and is within driving distance to the East coast. We have a good mixture of surrounding countryside and town, and we are only half an hour from Stanstead airport.
