We're looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse here Riverside Veterinary Centre
We are looking for an experienced RVN to come and work with us in our shiny new building! We are moving to a new building early next year that will allow us more opportunities for our team. The role would include a mixture of theatre, kennel care and consulting.
Work life balance that works for you
Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, that’s why we know that a good work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that truly flexes with you and your lifestyle no matter what stage you are in your career. Ideally, we’re looking for someone to work full time covering 40 hours per week. Shifts will be mixed between 8am and 7pm with breaks for lunch in our new comfortable break room or in the local area. Also, you’ll be rota’d to work 1 in 3 Saturday mornings.
More about us
Our new building will boast separate dog and cat wards, a dental room and separate theatre and lab. And of course, a brand-new office, large staff room for eating cake and other goodies and air conditioning throughout! We’ve already invested in some new equipment but the new building will allow us to have dental x-ray and a new multiparameter. We are already well equipped with digital x-ray, ultrasound, in-house haematology and biochemistry. Once the dust settles from the building work, our next project is for Cat Friendly Status, as we are already passionate about a low stress experience at the practice for all species.
Our approachable, down to earth team is well established, very supportive and genuinely friendly – we make sure that we treat each other with respect, humour and kindness in what can be a stressful industry. Even on the busiest of days our team are always laughing together. We love first opinion veterinary practice, and we value the role every person has in the team. Day to day, you would be working alongside our experienced team consisting of a full complement of seven Veterinary Surgeons, Nurse team with our Student Veterinary Nurse and our receptionist team. You will always be working with our experienced vets, there will never be days where you would be the only RVN on site.
