Head Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
Trinity Vet Centre, Maidstone, Maidstone, South East
Discipline: Small Animal
Full Time
Up to £35,000 DOE
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse to progress into a Head Nurse position at Trinity Vets, a well-equipped first and second opinion small animal and exotic veterinary practice in Maidstone, Kent. We are also open to considering applicants for an RVN position, with the potential to advance into a Head Nurse role. Our fantastic team is happy to discuss both options to find the best fit.
Your future begins here
The successful candidate will work alongside our friendly and dedicated team of qualified vets, nurses, and animal care assistants to provide exceptional care for our clients and patients. While the role will primarily involve treating small animals, there will also be opportunities to work with exotics.
Our nurses manage a diverse and exciting caseload of small animals and exotics, with plenty of opportunities to expand and develop their skills through excellent CPD support. Our motto is: If it fits through the door, we’ll see it!
Fix or flex – find your perfect balance
This is typically a full-time role, working 40 hours over 4 or 5 days, with participation in a weekend rota and no out-of-hours shifts. However, we also welcome part-time applications and are open to discussing flexible working arrangements to suit your needs.
What do we offer you?
Established over 10 years ago, Trinity Vet Centre is highly regarded for its expertise in exotic medicine. Opportunities to join our friendly team are rare, so if you're interested in a rewarding role with a well-established practice, apply now! We handle a varied small animal and exotics caseload and work within a recently refurbished facility. Our practice is equipped with four consulting rooms, an exotic ward, small animal cages, a surgical theatre, a prep room, radiography and ultrasonography, as well as in-house clinical pathology and dental facilities.
We pride ourselves on providing a welcoming, friendly atmosphere with great transport links, making it easy to explore both local and far-away adventures.
At Trinity, we've worked hard to foster a family-like culture and a positive working environment. Our team includes several full and part-time Registered Veterinary Nurses, many with additional training in exotic species, a student nurse, and experienced reception staff. Together, we make an outstanding team. We actively encourage and support further training, including certificates and areas of interest, to help our team continue to grow professionally.
