Internal Medicine RVN - Advanced Care & Growth in Wetherby

At Swift Referrals, we are more than just a veterinary hospital - we are a community of passionate professionals committed to providing exceptional care for our patients. We are excited to announce that we are now inviting applications from compassionate and motivated RVNs to join us as an Internal Medicine Nurse.

As a Medicine Nurse at Swift Referrals, you will play an integral role in our mission to provide outstanding patient care. You will work closely with our clinical team to support and enhance our referral services, which include Internal Medicine, Oncology, and Advanced Imaging. Your responsibilities will span from patient admission to discharge, ensuring the highest standard of care throughout the entire patient journey. You will be involved in a range of activities, including imaging, preparing for medical procedures, anaesthesia monitoring, ward care (including complex cases), lab diagnostics, rehabilitation, and client support. We value versatility within our team, so you will also have the opportunity to assist across different disciplines and help with emergencies when needed. Additionally, we are fully supportive of your special interests and encourage you to pursue your professional goals.

Swift Referrals is purpose-built to meet the highest industry standards. Our multidisciplinary referral hospital provides world-class veterinary care under one roof, specialising in orthopaedics, neurology, internal medicine, and soft tissue surgery. Our facilities include a 1.5T Siemens MRI scanner, 128 Slice GE CT scanner, Doppler ultrasound, endoscopy, arthroscopy, state-of-the-art operating theatres, and separate wards for dogs and cats. We also have a dedicated Emergency and Critical Care (ECC) unit with a large ICU for our critically ill patients. We are committed to the well-being of our over 80 employees, and the positive feedback in our team satisfaction surveys is a testament to the supportive and inclusive culture we’ve built.

We welcome applications from RVNs of all experience levels and backgrounds. We recruit based on attitude and aptitude, offering full training and support for new team members. Above all, we are looking for nurses who align with our core values. We prioritise integrity, transparency, and the well-being of our patients in everything we do. A keen interest in medical cases and a desire to diversify your clinical skills in a multidisciplinary referral hospital is essential, and any experience in this field will be an asset to your application.

This is a full-time role, with a 40-hour work week spread over 4 days. There is a 1:4 weekend rota, with time off in lieu. While we have a dedicated out-of-hours team, you may occasionally be asked to assist with holiday or sickness cover if needed. We are flexible and considerate of work-life balance, and we will do our best to accommodate flexibility requests to support your personal needs.
