We are looking to fill a rare vacancy in our team of 7 Registered Veterinary Nurses. Our ideal candidate would work 5 days per week (37.5 hrs),

Our nursing team is highly experienced with our most recently qualified doing so 11 years ago. Our nursing teams are involved in all aspects of patient care including consulting, monitoring anaesthetics, in-patient care, minor procedures (where appropriate), laboratory work and assisting other teams. 

The practice currently provides it's own out of hours service, with no requirement for the nursing team to be on site. Duty vets will only phone the on call nurse when assistance is required, such as a general anaesthetic. This is currently a rarity. The on call, weekend and bank holiday rota is currently shared evenly between the team (currently 1:7, but potentially 1:8). Time off in lieu is provided when weekends or bank holidays are worked. When called to assist the vet, an hourly rate is paid depending on the time of evening/night. Your shift pattern will be either 0830-1700 or 1100-1930, late shifts are shared equally between the team. Applicants will work between our 2 branches (IP8 3EY & IP1 6AA)
