Job description

We are seeking a dedicated Night Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Ellesmere Port. If you thrive in the fast-paced environment of emergency critical care and share our passion for providing affordable care to animals, then this opportunity is for you.

As a Night Veterinary Nurse, you will play a crucial role in our mission to deliver outstanding veterinary care. You will be responsible for caring for our inpatients during the night, assisting in theatre, triaging and conducting emergency procedures.

At Animal Trust, you'll find a supportive and inclusive culture that values each individual's contribution. We operate without hierarchy, fostering an environment where every team member contributes to our shared commitment to clinical excellence.

About Animal Trust

Animal Trust stands out from other veterinary services. Firstly, we are a unique Community Interest Company, being the only veterinary CIC in the UK to date. Our primary focus isn't solely on maximising profits; instead, we are dedicated to delivering on our mission and ensuring enough profit to sustain our business in the long term.

Our vision is clear: No pet should go untreated or face euthanasia when there is a viable treatment option. We firmly believe that pet ownership should be accessible to all, acknowledging that individuals earning the Real Living Wage may encounter challenges in affording veterinary care when their pet falls ill. In response, we aim to assist. Our free consultations and transparent pricing enable our vets and nurses to break down the barriers that stand in the way of pets receiving the treatment they need.
