Are you looking to work in a busy, well-equipped hospital with great caseload, as well as build rapport with clients and run nurse clinics in a smaller branch?

Would you like to work on the leafy edge of Birmingham, giving you access to both beautiful countryside and the hustle and bustle of central Birmingham?

Most importantly, we are looking for a dedicated and compassionate individual to join our team.

Join our multi-award-winning team as a Registered Veterinary Nurse, working across all five of our branches. This is a fantastic role for an RVN seeking variety in their day-to-day work.

We would prefer someone on a full-time basis; however, we're open to discussing part-time and flexible roles. Our exceptional team consists of certificate holders in Cardiology, Medicine, Surgery, Dermatology, Soft Tissue and Orthopaedic Surgery and much more - meaning we have an exciting caseload and can provide both first-opinion and referral level services.

Our nurses are heavily involved in all cases and assist with some complex procedures. Nurses are able to work within an advanced veterinary nursing niche.

We also have state-of-the-art equipment, including:

• CT scanner
• Dedicated dental x-ray unit
• Referral level ultrasound scanner and dedicated scanning room
• NHS level lab
• Seven top of the range endoscopes
• Multiple ICU incubators
• Piped Oxygen
• Kennels and Cattery with underfloor heating
• Feline-friendly hospital
• Three silver ISFM accredited branches

We can offer a good social life too for those who want to get involved; lots of friendships and comradery, which all make for a great work-life balance. We value our entire team and regularly host staff recognition events to show this, including a Christmas party and a mid-year social for you and your families to enjoy!

Blacks Vets are an award-winning practice, independently voted twice as 'Best UK Vet', 'Practice of the Year' and winning the RCVS 'Wellbeing and Client Service' award 2018 and 'Best Place to Work' 2019.

We know we are only as good as the people we employ, and that is why everyone who joins us has been carefully selected because of the special qualities they can bring to our team.

With over 50 years of experience, we pride ourselves on being family vets for family pets. We have constantly pushed the boundaries on delivering the highest pet care through the calibre and qualifications of our Vets and Nurses and through the friendliness and professionalism of our Client Care teams.

Big enough to offer award-winning care, facilities, and expertise for the Black Country's much-loved pets. Small enough to care for client and employees alike, treating them as unique individuals - family matters to us.
