Head Registered Veterinary Nurse

Newcastle Kingston Park - Head Veterinary Nurse

Are you an RVN ready to take the next step into a leadership role?

We have an opportunity for an enthusiastic nurse to join our team at Vets4

Pets Newcastle Kingston Park as Head Nurse.

Our purpose-built surgery, complete with high quality facilities and equipment, is situated in a great location inside the Pets at Home store in Kingston Park. Vets4

Pets Newcastle Kingston Park, along with Vets4

Pets Gateshead, is owned by Samantha Sauer MRCVS and Mark Sauer. We are a small GP practice which takes pride in offering our clients a tailored, personal service, working with them to keep their pets happy and healthy.

This role would suit a senior or deputy nurse ready to step up, or an established Head Nurse looking for a better work/life balance. You will lead a small nursing team, drive practice standards, and coach new talent.

We are looking for someone with experience of supervising, mentoring or leading a nursing team. You do not need to have held a Head Nurse post before. What matters is that you have carried some responsibility for others and want to build on it. We will support you to grow into the role with funded CPD and direct access to the practice owners.

Strong communication and client care skills are essential.

Ideally we are looking for our new Head Nurse to cover full time hours (37.5), but hours and rota are flexible and can be framed to suit your needs.

We offer a salary of £35,000 to £37,000 pro rata, depending on experience. You will also receive a 20% discount at the Vet Group, Pets at Home and the Groom Room.

• Annual leave that increases with years' service
• Comprehensive CPD funding with financial support and allocated time for study
• The opportunity to lead an established nursing team
• Schedule 3 surgeries, complex in-patient care, clinical coaching, nurse clinics and emergency care
• Paid RCVS and BVNA memberships
