All Creatures Veterinary Surgery - SW11 5QL London

We are looking for a permanent full time RVN to start early June onwards.

Shifts are Monday – Friday 9am – 6pm with one hour lunch break unpaid. If you are wanting less than 40 hours per week, please let us know what hours you are interested in, we can be flexible.

The candidate will be expected to work one Saturday shift a month 9am-1.30pm. Working Saturday morning, it can be taken as time in lieu or extra pay.

The role is mainly surgery/medical nursing with some nurse consultations.

Ideal candidate will be a UK RVN, but we will consider other qualified veterinary nurses if they have the intention of sitting their OSCEs to become registered.

Ideal candidate would be one-year qualified, paid work experience and this would have a salary of £30,000 for 40 hours per week. If you are newly qualified starting salary would be lower depending on experience. Depending on length of experience, greater than one year, we may be able to offer higher than £30,000.

20 days annual leave, plus bank holidays (pro rata) and CPD allowance.

Accommodation is available. If you wish to have accommodation, then you will be responsible for being on call 1 week on with 1 week off. Monday-Friday only. On call is checking in-patients at 8pm and 10pm. It is not very common that we have in-patients, however, we can have patients admitted up until 6pm so you do need to be available on your weeks on. The pet owner is made aware that the checks are only at 8pm and 10pm. If the vet feels the patient requires hospitalisation at a 24-hour practice, we will refer the patient before 6pm.

If you wish to use accommodation the salary would be lower than what is stated above.

About us

We are a small animal, independent practice in SW London. We are a hard-working and friendly team consisting of three vets and three RVNs (you would be covering the third RVN), one SQP and three VCAs nurse/support staff. Fully equipped practice with-in house MiLab blood machines, IV fluid pumps, digital radiographs, dental radiographs and ultrasound. We do see some exotics (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets) but experience in this area is not essential.

Our usual day

One vet consults all day and the other does a mixture of consults and surgery. We have three to four procedures/surgeries booked each day. Two RVNs look after the surgery and medical patients, one support staff on reception and one support staff in the office answering phone calls/dealing with emails.
