Up to £32,500 DOE | Full-Time | Permanent

Are you a Registered Veterinary Nurse looking for a team that genuinely has your back, encourages you to grow, and knows that a good cup of tea can solve at least 50% of life's problems?

They are looking for a passionate, enthusiastic and caring RVN to join their lovely team!

If you’re looking for a supportive working environment where your skills are valued, your ideas are welcomed, and your career development matters, this could be the perfect next step.

They are a thriving, friendly practice with a genuinely supportive team who enjoy working together and helping one another out. We believe in creating an environment where everyone feels valued, supported and able to be themselves because work is so much better when you enjoy the people you work with!

You’ll be joining a team of three Veterinary Surgeons, two RVNs and three Student Veterinary Nurses, giving you plenty of opportunity to share knowledge, learn from one another and be part of a collaborative clinical team.

They are passionate about helping nurses develop their confidence, expand their clinical skills and progress in their careers. Whether you have a particular clinical interest you’d love to explore or ambitions to take the next step professionally, we’ll encourage you to make the most of your potential.

And, of course, your hard work deserves to be recognised!

No two days are quite the same here, so if you enjoy variety, this could be right up your street.

The practice sees a broad range of cases, including routine procedures, dental work, lump removals, heart scans and much more. You’ll have the opportunity to put your nursing skills into practice, develop your knowledge and make a real difference to the patients in your care.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out nurse consultations and providing excellent patient and client care.
• Supporting surgical procedures, with two or more surgeries taking place on most days.
• Assisting with a varied caseload and supporting the veterinary team.
• Helping keep the practice running smoothly, including occasional reception cover and in-house administrative duties.
• Contributing to a positive, welcoming environment for colleagues, clients and their pets.

They are looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on, embraces variety and understands that great nursing is about much more than simply being good at holding a lead!

They are equipped with in-house X-ray, biochemistry and haematology facilities, helping us deliver excellent patient care and giving you the opportunity to use and develop your clinical skills in a well-equipped environment.

With a varied caseload and a team that enjoys sharing its knowledge, there’s plenty to keep you interested and help you continue learning.

They understand that a good work-life balance matters, so our rota is designed around a four-day working week.

• Working pattern: Four days per week.
• Shift length: 9.5 hours.
• Weekend rota: One in six weekends at our Enfield 24-hour hospital.
• Weekend shifts: Alternating between early shifts (7:40 am–5:10 pm) and late shifts (11:00 am–8:30 pm).
