Here at Homefield Road Vets, we are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team. You will carry out general nursing duties including clinics, anaesthesia, and patient care. There is scope for individuals to develop their own area of interest and nurses are encouraged to make use of their skills. All levels of experience are considered, and RVN qualification is required.
We would love to welcome a Nurse on a full-time rota for 39.5 hours per week over 3.5 to 4 days; however, we are open to speaking to part-time candidates looking to fit their careers. The shift times are between 8 am and 7 pm, with a shared Saturday morning rota.
What we are looking for
We are looking for someone who is a good team player passionate about high clinical standards and first-class patient care and a good communicator. The candidate will need to be able to work well as a part of the team and we would welcome either an experienced nurse or someone at an earlier stage of their career.
