The job, in the employer's words
At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
We are seeking an enthusiastic, team-orientated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Coombefield Veterinary Hospital on a full-time, 12-month fixed term basis.
Our main site is an RCVS accredited, large, purpose-built hospital practice in Axminster, with a branch practice in Seaton. We have a separately staffed, dedicated OOH night service called Three Counties Veterinary Emergencies, working out of our Axminster site with surrounding practices feeding into this service.
We are the only RCVS accredited hospital with 24-hour care in the area, with the facilities and equipment to match.
Being in beautiful East Devon, the world-famous Jurassic Coast is on our doorstep and there are numerous outdoor activities both on and off the water.
The hospital has two bright and airy operating theatres, a large prep area, self-contained dental suite, imaging suite, separate cattery, kennels and isolation wards. There is also an internal laboratory, pharmacy and five consult rooms (one of which is a dedicated nurse consult room). There are also separate dog and cat waiting areas.
How You’ll Make a Difference
As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, you will be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering high-quality nursing care to patients while supporting excellent client experiences.
You’ll work collaboratively with veterinary surgeons and the wider practice team, taking responsibility for the nursing care of a range of first opinion cases, contributing to clinical standards, and supporting the ongoing development of patient care within the practice.
We currently have 17 vets with certificates/special interests in Ophthalmology, Cardiology, Imaging, ECC, Dentistry and Surgery. RATA also visit regularly delivering orthopaedic surgery. The workload is, therefore, busy and varied, with plenty of opportunity to explore your interests. As part of a rotational rolling rota you will get the opportunity to work within all areas of the practice, and more importantly using all of your nursing capabilities. We have recently moved to carrying out staged dental procedures and offer nurse Schedule III procedural afternoons
