Job Description: Are you a RVN looking for a role within a diverse and proactive RCVS accredited SA hospital?
If so, look no further!
An opportunity has arisen for a new RVN to join the team at a busy and well-equipped hospital in Gloucestershire. You will be joining a current team of around 30 Day Nurses, 6 Night Nurses, and 4 Kennel Assistants, many of whom hold or are working towards post qualification certificates.
Their fabulous nurses enjoy a great work-life balance, enabling them to explore everything the locality has to offer in their downtime. With the historic attraction of Gloucester Cathedral, Regency Cheltenham and breath-taking countryside right on your doorstep, this location is perfect for nature-lovers. For those who prefer more of a city scene, you’re only a 45-minute drive from beautiful Bristol, and an hour and half from the lively Welsh capital of Cardiff.
The hospital has its own dedicated night team, so there are no OOHs (even though they are open 24/7), although there is the opportunity to provide holiday cover if you have an interest in OOH/ECC work that you would like to explore further. Their in-house Laboratory with dedicated technicians provides advanced diagnostics.
The successful candidate will be conscientious, hardworking, a real team player, have a passion for providing the best standard of veterinary care, and be confident in all aspects of a nursing rota. You will work a varied caseload where schedule 3 is actively encouraged, and additional training/qualifications are supported.
The position is open to applicants of all experience levels and can be either full time or part time with flexible working opportunities available. There will be some weekend cover included as part of your rota – roughly 1:7 FTE.
Included in the package on offer:
6 weeks paid holiday including bank holidays
£1000 CPD Allowance per annum
Health Shield – wide ranging contributions for health and wellbeing treatments – from dentistry to sports massage
RCVS Membership paid
One other membership subscription
VDS cover
Generous veterinary discount for companion animals
My Perks – offers, discounts and cashback on shopping, travel, entertainment and much more
Regular pay reviews
Focus on employee wellbeing
