An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and enthusiastic RVN to join the vibrant Night Team working in our busy, purpose-built clinic that is fully equipped with the surgical equipment and diagnostic facilities commensurate with a flagship specialist veterinary centre.
As a Night Nurse you will have the opportunity to work in all our wards, including ICU and nursing canine and feline patients across all disciplines. You will also be involved with the care and triage of emergencies admitted out of hours. Night Nurses are allocated to a ward for the duration of their set of shifts which will allow you to get to know your patients and recognise changes in their condition.
You will work alongside a team of Nurses, Nursing Assistants and Interns with a Specialist from each department on call.
No two nights are the same! This makes working nights interesting and challenging with generous time off, giving a good work life balance.
