Job Description

We are a busy, RCVS accredited, small animal first opinion practice with our main clinic based in the historic town on Battle, and our satellite branch just a few miles away in Robertsbridge.

Clinical excellence is at the core of everything we do, as well as providing the highest standards of patient and client care for our loyal clientele. We pride ourselves on our great reputation within our community.

 

The Role:

The role will include all aspects of theatre work and client nurse appointments in our practice. You will undertake a share of nurse duties and responsibilities depending on your experience.

We are open to applications from RVN’s of all levels of experience. CPD is actively encouraged to gain specific skills, and clinical coaching is part of our clinic.

We want all our colleagues to thrive and feel fulfilled in their roles and to enjoy working within our dedicated and highly supportive team.

  • Permanent position
  • Full-time – 35 hours/wk + Saturday morning rota
  • Based at our Battle branch
  • Rota Shifts usually over a 4-day week – earliest start 7.30am and finish 8pm
  • 1in 6 Saturday mornings (extra payment)

We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic with a passion for animal care and client communication. You will enjoy working as part of a team but be able to use initiative too.

 

A little more about us: 

The practice itself is equipped to a high standard, with all the mod cons you would expect of RCVS accreditation.

Our fantastic team currently consists of 10 Vets, 7 RVNs and 1 SVN, plus our valued support colleagues. Communication and collaboration are key and we have regular team meetings.

Work life balance is important to us and outside of work we’re a sociable bunch enjoying a summer event and a Christmas party each year plus plenty of smaller colleague events.

 

Why work at Senlac Veterinary Practice? – here’s what our team has to say:

“Everyone’s so supportive, it’s like being part of a lovely big family”.

“Senlac is a lovely local, friendly practice with a great reputation and has a great close-knit team to work within”.

“We are so lucky to work in a beautiful, historic town with great clients and colleagues”.

 

The Area:

Battle is a thriving market town in East Sussex with a host of interesting shops, restaurants, historic pubs and tea-rooms.

The local area is truly stunning – the coastline is picturesque and a great place to spend your free time. Along with the historic old town of Hastings close by, as well as the castle, Battle Abbey and the English Heritage 1066 Battle of Hastings site… there is culture in abundance to explore!

There are good bus and rail links – London is only 1hr 20min away by train.

 

 Our fantastic range of benefits includes:

  • Salary £27,000 – £32,000 depending on experience
  • 6 weeks paid holiday including bank holidays
  • £600.00 CPD Allowance per annum
  • Health Shield – wide ranging contributions for health and wellbeing treatments – from dentistry to sports massage
  • RCVS Membership paid plus one other membership subscription
  • VDS cover
  • Enhanced paternity, maternity, adoption, shared parental leave and surrogacy pay
  • Discounted veterinary fees
  • My Perks – offers, discounts and cashback on shopping, travel, entertainment and much more
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • CPD/training support
  • Company sick pay
  • Colleague engagement survey
  • Annual pay reviews
  • Focus on employee wellbeing
  • Career progression opportunities

 

If this sounds like the role for you, we’d love to hear from you.
