Careers
Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN)
Full-time, 37.5 hours over 4 days a week. Unicorn RVN required to join our dedicated, awesome team at our independent practice in Surrey!
We are on the hunt for a passionate RVN to join our team! One of our students has just qualified and is flying the nest to another country, so we are looking for someone just as great to replace her.
Our team
You will be joining the team of 9 amazing nurses who are extremely caring, hard-working and who always advocate for the care of their patients! We have 6 veterinary surgeons, 2 student nurses, 2 nursing assistants and 6 receptionists, everyone as empathetic and caring as each other, which really makes this practice a great place to work!
Hours and rota
Our full-time position is made up of 37.5-hour weeks, across 4 days, with 1 in 4 Saturday mornings. The rota rotates weekly through inpatient care, consulting and theatre, so you'll really experience a bit of every aspect of veterinary nursing.
Our shifts run either 8am–5pm or 10am–7.30pm. You will do a week of that shift, so no chopping between earlies and lates.
About you
We are looking for someone who will speak up on behalf of their patients, collaborate with the whole team to ensure the most up-to-date nursing is followed and even bring fresh ideas into the practice to enable us to give the best care possible!
Ideally you will be interested in teaching student nurses, whether you have been a clinical supervisor before or not, to help us educate and support the next generation of RVNs.
The role
Stock management will make up part of this role, including stock takes, ordering and ensuring the pharmacy is tidy and organised.
We would love you to have an interest in the lab, where you will assist one of our other nurses in maintaining our lab equipment and fixing issues with IDEXX when they arise.
If the lab isn't your bag, we would love you to be interested in processing insurance claims, to ensure our clients get paid quickly for their pets' treatments and any issues are resolved without too much hassle.
What we offer
- Fully paid RCVS fees
- Staff discount (after passing our 6-month probation)
- A health care plan for you, which offers discounts on opticians, dentists and physiotherapy (amongst other benefits)
- A generous CPD budget to allow you to expand your knowledge in an area you love
- We celebrate every year of your employment and your birthday
- A Summer BBQ and Christmas party, plus other social gatherings and events throughout the year. As we spend so much of our lives working, we have to have some un-work-related fun every now and then!
Your first few weeks
We have a 3-week buddy introduction, where you will be paired with one of the other RVNs to learn how our practice is run, get used to our practice management system and get to grips with day-to-day life at Windlesham Village Vets. Once the 3 weeks are complete, you will be fully supported by the management team to really be able to thrive in your new role with us.
Salary
£30,000–£34,000 depending on experience
