• Friendly, approachable and enjoys building relationships
• A strong team player who is happy to support colleagues
• Passionate about delivering excellent patient and client care
• Comfortable working in a true general practice environment
• Interested in nurse consultations and preventative healthcare
• Looking for a long-term role within a supportive team

You may be a newly qualified RVN looking for a supportive environment to develop your skills, or an experienced nurse looking for a practice where culture, teamwork and work-life balance are prioritised.
