We are looking for a full time Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at White Cross Vets, Eccleshill. Our full-time Nurses work 37.5 hours per week with inclusion in the Saturday Rota (with TOIL). There is no requirement for OOH.
About the Practice
Eccleshill practice is in a great location, easily accessible by public transport (there's even a bus stop right outside the practice!). There's lots of shops in the local area for you to grab lunch at, including a particularly good fish and chip shop and a lovely small cafe serving warm sandwiches.
Our practice has a Dental x-ray, main x-ray, new ultrasound machine, in-house laboratory, in-house Sedivue for urine analysis and we're currently completing our ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic status.
About the Team
The practice currently employees 3 VSs, 3 RVNs, 1 SVN and 2 CCC’s. We have a Nurse who is working towards their schedule three and has done CPD in dentistry.
We promote an open dialogue and focus on supporting each other at work. Every decision related to the practice is made after consulting the team and getting feedback from everyone involved.
During our wellbeing afternoons we built lanterns, made terrariums, painted portraits of each other and made Valentine’s card to tell our colleagues how much we appreciate them. We also had Santa Claus visiting the practice as a Christmas special. We regularly organise meals out, last year we went axe throwing together.
Don't just take it from us...
'As a current employee and one who has worked for the practice for over two years, I feel very lucky to have my role here. The ongoing and unconditional support is better than any I have received elsewhere. The team have a great relationship and happy to help each other in times of need. I honestly could not imagine working anywhere else!' – Stef Wood (Practice Coordinator)
