The Role
We are seeking a talented part time RVN with a positive, supportive, professional nature to join our friendly and highly skilled and experienced team. We have members of the team with interests in anaesthesia, medicine, lab work, neonatal care, emergency care and dentistry.
The role will enable you to develop a variety of clinical skills, a positive working culture and high clinical standards are imperative.
We are looking for 2 - 3 days per week with some flexibility on those days for the right candidate. The shifts are 10 hours with a 30-minute unpaid lunch break, the latest finish being 7:30pm. Our weekends are 1 in 9 Saturday mornings with time off in lieu. The OOH is covered by a designated OOH service.
Our nurses work a mix of kennel, prep, theatre, consulting and dispensing shifts. We also have a schedule 3 shift for nurses to carry out dental scale and polishes and other schedule 3 procedures. This is actively encouraged, and training and guidance can be provided for those who have not got experience in schedule 3 procedures but would like to.
We strive for a good work-life balance and aim to progress as a practice with monthly team meetings and clinical clubs, and we encourage all new ideas and developments within the team.
