Registered Veterinary Nurse or Student Nurse
The Neighbourhood Vet, East Dulwich
Salary up to £35,000 DOE plus Relocation Allowance up to £3,000

Do you like being a nurse and are looking for a position where you can be your absolute best and have a good day every day? Do you want to work somewhere where you are valued, listened to and the manager’s care? Are you looking for continued support and development opportunities?

Find belonging by joining our amazing, supportive team

The Neighbourhood Vet is looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our lovely bunch. You will have a mixed day of nursing patients in hospital, assisting with surgical and diagnostic procedures, nurse consults and the opportunity to assist with schedule 3 procedures.

You can expect support and continued education/on-the-job training, mentoring and lots of on-going (and often free!) CPD and the added perks like your birthday off. We are a close team who work to a high standard and we have Cert holders in medicine (x 4), cardiology (x2), surgery (x 2 and 1 studying), ECC (x 1), ophthalmology (1 studying) and acupuncture.

Rota patterns that work for you

This is a full or part time position. Typically, the full-time position is 40 hours working 37 hours over 4 days plus a weekend rota. If you are working a Sunday, you get a day off in lieu the following Monday.

However, we understand that you have priorities outside of work therefore we try and tailor your working pattern to suit you. For example, we create set rotas so you can make plans.

Welcome to the Neighbourhood

We started as a single vet practice in East Dulwich 10 years ago and have now grown to have 3 practices, located in East Dulwich, Penge, and Crofton Park, with 20 Vets (ranging from 20+ years qualified to new grads), 10 RVNs, 10 Veterinary care assistants/students and 22 reception/ administration staff.

We have lovely facilities and buildings, and all the usual good toys including Ultrasound, X-ray, Dental x-ray, Ultrasonic dental machine, Multiparameter, ECG, fully equipped lab, separate dog, and cat wards.

We care

But that's not why you should work here - although a lot of people talk about ‘stuff’ being the most important thing, we know it’s not, it is our people that are! And we have grown our practice by focussing on looking after each other, then pets, then clients.

What can you expect from us?

Well firstly, you can expect an excellent standard of care. For example, for every anaesthetic, we use the best drugs (only sevoflurane gas), and everything has an IV placed and gets fluids. We use a range of anaesthetic monitors, we manually chart, we supervise, we train, we record incidents, and we review our practice and process in a supportive way. We provide the safest care for our patients which hopefully means the least stress for everyone.

You can also expect a friendly, welcoming, and open culture from top to bottom. We want humble, kind teammates, who enjoy their work, and can have a laugh! We are not perfect, and we want to continue to all learn, grow and be better and be supportive and compassionate at all times. We also hold regular voluntary social events such as curry nights, pub nights, charity bake sales and a Christmas party.

We would welcome both full and part time applicants. Typically, our Head RVNs work full time, carrying out a 40-hour week over 4 or 5 days.

Testimonial from our current RVN at Osterley:

“I worked at Alcombe Veterinary Surgery, Osterley almost 3 years ago (I returned to my home country during the covid lockdowns). I finally returned to London in September 2022 and I re-joined Osterley on a fixed term contract. I love working for the company and my colleagues are fantastic and so supportive. Many of my previous colleagues are still here years later and it is so lovely to jump back into such a positive working environment and of course meeting some new team members too."

We pride ourselves on the atmosphere we've created at Osterley

Our practice is based on the corner of a beautiful parade of shops and restaurants, with a lovely cosy garden area for lunch breaks.

We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team. The successful candidate will be working across three practices within Inverness and will be part of a well-established team providing nurse consults, theatre nursing and inpatient care.

You will be supported by our team of Veterinary Care Assistants and a dedicated dispensary assistant so your time can be utilised doing what you do best. All our nurses are encouraged to grow their skills and the team size means you will get time to learn from each other.

Rota patterns that work for you

Our shift length is eight hours, and we are open Monday to Saturday. The rota includes working 40 hours per week over 5 days. We have three sites within Inverness so you will get to enjoy the hustle and bustle of a busy surgical site and the peacefulness of consulting only surgeries. No two days are the same giving you a varied workload and a good mix of cases.

Want to know more?

Inverness is a city with good shopping, cafes, live music venues, restaurants, and bars. We have a theatre (Eden Court) which hosts musicals, plays, ballet and numerous special events such as outdoor music events during the Summer.

The Highlands are certainly the place to be for those with a passion for the outdoors- the scenery is second to none and there is endless opportunity for walking, wild swimming, camping and paddle boarding! There are lots to do for families and children of all ages- Inverness is very child friendly with an array of festivals and events catered for families. There is a leisure centre and pool with waterslides, ice skating rink, many parks, and petting farms. Many of the primary and high schools in the area have very good reputations and ranking in Scotland.

Our sites consist of our main branch in Crown itself where you will get to enjoy hustle, bustle and challenge of a busy day, at our Culloden and Canalside practices you can enjoy sole charge consulting only. We also have access locally to a CT scanner at our Highland Vet Referral practice.

Come and join our amazing team

Our team here consists of 14 Veterinary Surgeons, 14 Registered Veterinary Nurses including 2 Student Nurses. Our clinical team are supported by Veterinary Care Assistants, a Pharmacy Dispenser and very competent front desk team and Office Support Staff.

At Crown Vets we are fortunate to have a fantastic team who strive to create a positive working environment and build strong relationships within the team. We have regular staff events, activities and days out, but nothing brings us together like fundraising for our local community. Over the years we have raised over £12,000, completed a 24-hour kennel stay, a 12-hour bike-a-thon and the world’s largest inflatable obstacle course. We have also raised funds to provide 50 pet oxygen masks to Highland fire stations, outdoor community accessible defibrillators at our 3 sites and have created our own pet food bank to distribute throughout our local area.

Registered Veterinary Nurse

careers@beaconviewvets.co.uk (Josh Willmot) — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 12:10:26 GMT

One of our lovely nursing team is relocating and an opportunity has arisen for an RVN to join our modern, vibrant, independent practice. Based at our BVHA design award winning practice in Eastry near Sandwich, we are an independent team, focused on maintaining a wonderful place to work. We strive to give our clients the personal service they deserve, delivered with empathy and exceptional care.

About Beacon View

We work to a different beat than most practices. It is our belief that our team should be able to dedicate their time into working up cases and caring for our patients successfully and effectively, therefore consults are a minimum of 20 minutes. Working up to three patients an hour as opposed to 5 or 6 improves client communication, compliance, and reduces the team’s cognitive load. It gives us time to work cases up to a high level and build a bond with owners. We work on a low client numbers to vets ratio and we have a client waiting list.

Since opening in 2020 our practice has seen significant growth in popularity and our close knit team are the driving force behind everything we’ve accomplished, championing veterinary independence and innovation.

We have been presented with awards from the BVHA and VMA, and in 2022 Vet Dynamics furnished us with the “Inspiring New Practice” award, followed this year by the “Outstanding Leadership” award.

Being a responsible business is very important to us, and we are accredited by the Good Business Charter, which covers everything from environmental impact to team wellbeing.

We don’t run targets, our team focuses on providing the best care they can. We don’t sell pet shop products or extras; we are focused on being exceptional vets and nurses.

We are proud of the experience and expertise within our team. We are continually investing in our team and equipment, this year we purchased the latest range of laparoscopic and endoscopic equipment. We believe in nurturing talent within our team, and have heavily invested in both clinical and non-clinical training across a wide range of topics and certificate levels.

We are fortunate to be able to work up most cases in house, and with a varied caseload we offer a wide range of services to existing clients and referrals.

The retention of our independence means that by working alongside our team day to day we have an inherent understanding of everyone’s needs and aspirations. We have regular communication with each member of our team, treating everyone individually with trust and honesty.

We pride ourselves on our culture and look after the team's wellbeing. We are partnered with Olivia from Human Savvy to independently assess and advise on our strategies, as well as our performance as leaders. Our team has access to external coaches to help support their development, and we are long standing members of the Vet Dynamics community which helps our practice to thrive and grow.

Over the course of the year, we come together as a team for various events. These have included trips out for dinner, a visit to the water park and Go-Ape, and thought-provoking sessions at our journal club and workshops.

The candidate

Are you a RVN that is passionate about providing both a high level of care for our patients and a premium service for our clients? Outstanding communication and personal skills are essential, and you will be encouraged to maintain continuity and participate in case management. A desire to grow as a professional, adapt to change and get involved with a progressive independent practice and team is a must. Are you able to do this whilst having a chuckle over a slice of cake?

We’re looking to bring on board a veterinary nurse who enjoys building relationships with clients, loves running nurse clinics, and providing a high level of care to our surgical cases.

You will need to be qualified or on the cusp of qualifying.

Specifics of the role include

Full time role, however part time considered for the right person.
A pattern of 8 hour shifts between 8am and 7.30pm
A weekend rota shared fairly among the whole team, no more than 1 in 5.
100% small animal, Fear Free and ISFM Gold Cat Friendly clinic
Beautiful and modern practice with a BVHA Design Award to prove it
A supportive team and genuinely lovely clients
A wide range of new equipment including DR x-ray, dental x-ray, laparoscopy.
Work alongside a leadership team who listen and act on good ideas
Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications
Unlimited and encouraged CPD allowance
Carbon offsetting program for your personal and work life
RCVS fees covered
No OOH or Bank Holidays
Bupa health plan
6 weeks holiday

We can support & nurture a new graduate and also find exciting challenges and learning opportunities for a more experienced nurse.

Salary £26,000 - 30,000 dependent on experience, skills, qualifications and responsibilities.

Pre-existing training or CPD debt can be covered.

About us

Vet4Life is a small animal primary care practice with three locations across Southwest London and Surrey. Our goal is to offer the highest quality veterinary care in the area, focusing on community-based services where pets and their owners are a top priority. Our dedicated veterinary professionals utilise state-of-the-art equipment to provide individualised care with compassion, empathy, and attention to detail.

Our Teddington practice was the first of our three clinics to be established. It's located on the charming Teddington high street, within a short stroll of Teddington Lock and a stone's throw away from Bushy Park.

Our team members frequently rotate through our three clinics, which fosters a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork. This, combined with our collective experience, enables us to provide the highest standard of care for pets.

Curious about what it's like working at our Teddington branch? Let our Clinical Nursing Manager, Jessica Harding, give you a glimpse into life at Vet4Life:

"I used to be the Lead Nurse at Vet4Life, but then I was promoted to Clinical Nursing Manager. The experience was amazing, and I was making a difference in my field. This role helped me grow as a Nurse, a leader, and as a person. Now, I oversee the Nursing Leads at all three Vet4Life branches, which is a challenging but fulfilling responsibility.

Most of us in the nursing profession believe that our career path ends with the Head Nurse (Lead Nurse) role. However, our nursing framework at Linnaeus enables us to surpass even that position. There are regional nursing manager roles, director of nursing positions, and nursing development opportunities available within the central team. It's inspiring to see where my career could take me and yours too!

At Vet4Life, we prioritise our team's well-being and culture. We are a close-knit family that genuinely cares about and supports each other. We regularly catch up over cake and coffee and check how everyone is doing. We believe a happy working environment is crucial, and we are excited to welcome new members to our team.

Working at Vet4Life is more than just a job – it feels like home. Our culture is at the forefront of everything we do, and we guarantee that you will experience the joy and support of being part of our team. If you ever consider changing positions, our culture would be the number one deciding factor. Relationships are vital to a happy life, and we believe that Vet4Life is where you will find them."
