Registered Veterinary Nurse

Job Description

Due to continued growth in our successful practice we now have an exciting opportunity for a friendly and enthusiastic RVN to join us here at Cambridge Beehive, where a four-day week on a full-time salary will be standard!

About us
Hayley Baker became partner of Cambridge Vets4Pets in 2015 and since then, the two practices at Barnwell Road and the Beehive Centre have gone from strength to strength. 

Our bright, spacious, air-conditioned surgeries are purpose built to industry leading standards and we have state of the art equipment including digital X-ray, full orthopaedic equipment, extensive endoscopic and laparoscopic equipment, ultrasound and in-house laboratory facilities. At the practices we see a wide variety of surgical and medical cases with a high percentage of clients being insured allowing our team to work up cases to a high standard. Laparoscopic bitch spays are performed as standard.

You will be joining a supportive, energetic, and progressive team consisting of 10 Vets, 12 RVNs, 1 SVN, a team of 6 Receptionists and a Practice Manager, split across the two sites. The team benefits from a variety of experience and individual interests, including critical care, anaesthesia, soft tissue surgery, endoscopy and laparoscopy.

About you and the role
Our current team of RVNs are integral in setting our clinical standard and protocols and take an active role in day-to-day management of the practices and we want someone who wants to be a part of this too. Here at Cambridge Beehive Vets for Pets we encourage all of our colleagues to be their best and achieve their careers goals. So whether you are an SVN looking for a practice to help you up to being an RVN or an RVN looking to take that next step, we would love to hear from you and see how we can help support you!

At Cambridge Vets4Pets, we are passionate about developing every member of the team and actively promote ongoing CPD (with an unlimited CPD budget for each colleague) and also encourage certificates and advanced qualifications.

Benefits:
