An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our first opinion, small animal hospital and referral practice in the heart of Staffordshire. We are also pleased to have recently refurbished our branch surgery, which is now a cat only clinic. We are proud to be an ISFM Accredited Cat Friendly Clinic! We are a host practice for Vets Now Emergency who provide our out of hours care. This ensures constant 24 hour care of our inpatients at our hospital, while we sleep at night. 

Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, that’s why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that truly flexes with you and your lifestyle no matter what stage you are in your career. A typical full time role would involve working a varied 40 hour a week rota (split between inpatients, operations, nurse consultations, referral areas, and the cat friendly clinic).

Both clinics have separate theatres and prep, digital x-ray, dental theatre (including dental x-ray), separate species-specific wards and isolation, K laser, multiparameter machines for patient monitoring, and a variety of endoscopes.
