We are looking for an RVN to add to our current team of 10 nurses who provide a wide-range of nursing services to a modern, busy small animal department. 

The role includes consultations, inpatient care, animal handling, sample collection, anaesthetic monitoring, lab work and much more. 

You may work up to 37.5hrs/week, all nurses contribute equally to the on call rota supporting the team of 11 SA vets. 

Our opening hours are 8:00am - 6.30pm Monday – Thursday, 8:00am – 5.30pm Friday, and 8:00am – 1.00pm Saturday. Between 10:00pm and 8:00am each night, calls are diverted to MiNightVet, so it is extremely unusual for your on-call work to fall within these hours. 

Our annual salary scale starts at £24,850 for a newly qualified RVN, plus pension, CPD, etc.
