Our Vets for Pets practice in Wrexham Plas Coch is looking for an enthusiastic, professional individual to join their vibrant team as a Registered Veterinary Nurse on a full-time basis.
About Us:
Wrexham is in the North of Wales, just inside the Wales/England border, close to areas of outstanding natural beauty either along the coast or in land like Llangollen. Wrexham has great infrastructure surrounding it, making it easily commutable from Chester, Liverpool, and Manchester, and perfect for days out. The practice itself is inside Pets at Home on Plas Coch retail park to the North of the city, which is well connected by local transport links.
Since our opening over 10 years ago we have grown a very loyal client base within the local community. We are a busy practice but with our friendly team, we have the support in practice to be able to deal with anything whether that is emergencies or day to day consults. Our nurses do undertake their own consults and also Schedule 3 working in practice, which draws the best out of the whole team and releases some of the pressure off of our vet team.
We have a number of certificate holders in practice allowing a wealth of knowledge and we highly encourage own development. We also have dental radiography which nurses are trained in and this is encouraged.
Our friendly team is currently made up of 6 Vets , 4 RVNs, 2 SVNs, 3 VCAs, 3 Receptionists and a Financial and Client coordinator who are led by our Practice Manager. This will offer you fantastic support and give you time to focus on your patients.
You will be joining the practice at a very exciting time as we have recently undergone a large expansion offering 2 new consult rooms, a dedicated dental suite/ imaging suite and large operating theatre!
About the Role:
We are looking for a full-time nurse to join our team working a mix of both early and late shifts (8:30am to 4:30pm and 11am to 7pm). We are happy to consider part-time hours also.
There is 1 in 6 Saturdays you will be required to work on a rota basis, but there is no Sunday or OOH working, which enables you to achieve the optimal work/life balance.
By joining us in this rewarding position, you will be part of a passionate and friendly team who are dedicated to provide world class clinical care.
In return we offer:
If you share our passion for delivering outstanding pet healthcare, exceptional customer service and would like to join our team, then we would love to hear from you.
