Job Description: We are currently recruiting on behalf of a practice in South Wales who have an opportunity for a new RVN to join their team.
The position will be predominately based at the practice's main hospital site in Bridgend, with some work at one of their 5 branches possibly necessary (so a full driver's licence is essential).

You will be joining a diverse, social, and enthusiastic team made up of 24 RVNs, and a team of SVNs and ACAs, all with different areas of interest. RVN's at this practice are encouraged to do as much as possible and you will be heavily involved in a huge variety of medical and surgical cases.
There is a weekly rota that will give you amble opportunity to spend time in wards, laboratory, dispensary, theatre, on nurse consults, etc.
You will be on a 4.5-day week (second year students, 4-day week plus a paid college day), and the weekend rota involves only 4 weekend days in 14 weeks, with time back in lieu.
You may want to consider taking part in the hospital's night rota, which involves 7 nights with the following 4 days off for recovery. You would be in charge of the inpatients overnight alongside the duty vet (also on site), as well as any emergency cases that are admitted overnight. You will also have an auxiliary nurse to support you until 10pm.

Salary £24,700-34,000 DOE
Holidays are 6 weeks, inclusive of Bank Holidays. Additional holiday will be accrued after 3 years’ service
