Veterinary Nurse in Northolt

Our team in Hayes has gone from strength to strength over recent years. With client numbers booming, we now require an additional RVN on a part-time basis to help support with the growing GP workload. The Hayes practice has been a firm fixture in the local community for decades and has continued to grow in popularity.

This is a 2-day week role on Thursdays and Fridays (8-hour shifts) and includes a 1:3 Saturday rotation between Hayes and Uxbridge, and 1:10 Sundays working alongside the Mandeville Hospital team, plus 1 bank holiday per year. There are NO on-call requirements for this position.

If you were looking for full-time opportunities, we would be happy to explore this in the region to combine with another role. This position would also suit a newly qualified RVN due to the support in the practice.

Responsibilities:

• Ensure the provision of a high quality and continually improving standard of nursing care.
• Assist the veterinary surgeon in theatre and during consultations, as and when required.
• Ensure a high standard of comfort and welfare for all pets in our care.
• Complete and maintain accurate records of hospitalised patients.
• Maintain a respectful and collaborative team environment.
• Ensure equipment is cleaned, packed, sterilised and stored correctly when not in use.

• Assist with the induction of new staff and their subsequent training.
• Provide reception duties, as required, ensuring a friendly and efficient handling of clients and their pets, in person, by email and over the telephone.
• Support student nurses and VCA’s as a clinical supervisor.

The practice itself boasts 2 consult rooms, a large bright theatre and prep area, and digital and dental x-ray. The practice also comes with a designated colleague area for those invaluable breaks. You will be supported by an incredibly experienced team including our part-time senior vet, associate vet, senior RVN, trainee nurses and reception team. We are also recruiting for an additional part-time vet due to increased workload.
