An exciting opportunity has arisen at our small animal practice in Warrington Riverside Vets4Pets for an enthusiastic Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly and welcoming team.
About us:
We’re passionate about supporting the growth and development of our team, and we're proud to be RCVS accredited and a recognised teaching practice for both RVNs and VCAs. We are silver rabbit and cat friendly both of which are mainly RVN led accreditations. We are also currently working towards fear free accreditation. If you are an experienced RVN ready for your next challenge we’d love to hear from you.
Our team is currently made up of 5 full time Vets, 8 RVN's, 3 VCA's and 6 CCA’s and 1 administrator, all of whom are led by our amazing partners Alex and Sam who became JVP’s over 10 years ago.
The surgery is newly refurbished that has a dedicated colleague space that has mindfulness area and games area to help you unwind. The practice is brightly lit with top quality equipment including digital and dental x-ray, ultrasound, therapeutic laser, in-house lab, multi-parameters, automatic BP machine, bi-polar diathermy plus all the usual surgical kit. Our partner Alex is an OV and has a keen interest in surgery with a lot of experience. One of our nurses is a veterinary behaviourist meaning we accept behavioural referrals inhouse, and our vet Ellie is a surgery certificate holder, meaning we are now accepting surgery referrals too.
We have a strong nursing team with a range of interests. Our nurse clinics run daily and cover laser therapy, blood sampling, puppy and kitten development, parasite control, 2nd vaccines and all the other usual suspects. Our nurses are instrumental in managing our surgical case load, carrying out radiography, dental radiography, scale and polishes, monitoring anaesthetics, managing medical cases and carrying out a variety of other schedule 3 procedures.
This is a Full Time role working 30 to 40 hour per week, between our practice opening hours (8:30am to 7pm). This will include working 1 in 4 weekends.
