The role
This is a new position, created to bridge our day and our evening. You would be the continuity between the day team and our overnight nurse: Theatre prep, Anaesthesia and Recovery, MRI and CT, and caring for our post-operative orthopaedic and neurology inpatients.
Hours Full-time, four 10-hour shifts a week, with Monday as a set day off and no weekend and bank holidays. Rather than a straight day or a straight evening, this is a single shift that starts later in the morning and runs through into the evening, covering our busiest hours and handing over to our overnight nurse. Thursday and Friday will always be the later shift. We have some flexibility on the other two days, so if an earlier start would suit you better, that's something we can talk about.
Dogwood Referrals continues to grow, and we're now looking for an additional RVN to grow with us. Referring vets across the North West continue to trust us with some of the most complex orthopaedic and neurological cases in the region, and our nursing team is expanding to match. We're a specialist-led referral hospital in Sale, focused on orthopaedic and neurosurgical patients, plus our own physiotherapy and hydrotherapy service. Our nurses treat patients undergoing total hip replacements, complex joint surgery, fracture repair and advanced spinal surgery, working alongside European and RCVS Recognised Specialists every day.
Your Referral experience is great, but it isn't a necessity. Our experienced and phenomenal nursing team will help you build the confidence to nurse even our most complex cases. What matters most to us is that you want to be part of Dogwood Referrals: part of the team, and part of where we're heading next. Clinical excellence, exceptional care and outstanding service are the three things we hold ourselves to, and we mean them.
