Moorview Referrals is a busy, purpose-built referral hospital located in beautiful Northumberland, within easy reach of the stunning coastline and the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Our modern facility is equipped to the highest standards, including four operating theatres (one with fluoroscopy), CT and MRI scanners, multiple ultrasound machines, and advanced endoscopy equipment.
We are a large, supportive clinical team with expertise in many different areas, working together to deliver exceptional patient care across a wide range of disciplines. We offer referral services in orthopaedics, soft tissue surgery, neurology, internal medicine, ECC, and cardiology, providing a varied and rewarding caseload. As an ISFM Gold Standard practice working towards zero pain certification, we are committed to continually raising standards in patient care.
This is an exciting opportunity to work across a diverse range of surgical departments, including Orthopaedic, Soft Tissue and Spinal cases. With such a varied and complex caseload, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your clinical skills, gain experience with advanced procedures and broaden your knowledge across the surgical field, all while being supported by our experienced and friendly team.
You’ll work a flexible rota covering 40 hours between 8 am and 8 pm, with a choice of either 5 x 8-hour shifts or 4 x 10-hour shifts to suit your lifestyle. You’ll also join a 1:5 weekend rota (two 12-hour shifts with TOIL), and take part in our bank holiday and Christmas cover, with occasional support across other departments when needed. We would be happy to consider part-time hours for the right person.
General responsibilities include:
This role is well-suited to someone with experience in surgery, anaesthesia (including more complex cases), and who is passionate about providing high standards of patient care. While referral experience would be advantageous, we welcome applications from RVNs of all experience levels and backgrounds as our knowledgeable and supportive team can provide full training in this role.
With a wide range of clinical interests across the team, this is an excellent opportunity for anyone keen to develop their skills further - particularly in anaesthesia, analgesia, radiography, and advanced imaging.
We’re committed to supporting our people through career development opportunities, wellbeing initiatives and access to world-class learning resources.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take the next step in your career, inspiring vet care offers the support, opportunity and community to help you grow.
