In addition we investigate and treat the majority of our medical cases in-house to give our patients the very best level of care.

• Opportunities to perform Schedule 3 procedures
• Generous CPD allowance and additional training/certificates encouraged
• Competitive salary of £26k - £30k based on experience
• Paid memberships – RCVS, VDS etc
• Company pension scheme
• Exclusive company discounts with Vets4Pets and PetsatHome
• Good work-life balance
• 5 weeks holiday and birthday off
• NO OOH

What do we want from you?

• This is a full time role, 40 hours a week, same day off every week, with a Saturday rota of 1 in 3
• You will need to be dynamic and proactive with good skills in all aspects of the nursing role, including communicating effectively with clients, carrying out nurse consults, monitoring anaesthetics for a variety of procedures, inpatient care etc
• To embrace this opportunity to drive our nursing team forward and to impact how we develop as a practice in the future
• And most importantly to enjoy having fun in an amazing team despite what wonders this job can throw at us day to day!
