Job description

About the Role

Willows Veterinary Centre and Referral Service is one of the leading small animal referral centres in the world, delivering the highest possible standard of pet healthcare for over 30 years. Our vision is to provide an unrivalled clinical, patient, client, and team experience that is recognised for excellence worldwide. Our values centre around the care of our patients, our clients, our referring vets, each other, and the environment to make a Better World for Pets.

We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for a dedicated RVN to join our wonderful oncology team at Willows Veterinary Hospital. This role is suitable for an RVN with at least one year of post-qualification experience. Additional relevant qualifications or previous experience in a referral setting are a bonus but not required. We are committed to your success, and full training and support will be provided every step of the way.

The role of the Oncology Nurse is to help us provide the highest standards of care to both our clients and patients. You'll work within the medical oncology team at the clinic, helping to coordinate the team and their cases. When the oncology caseload allows, you'll also have the chance to assist with internal medical cases.

Understanding and following Health and Safety protocols for oncology patients is a crucial part of this position—we'll ensure you are fully trained and comfortable with everything. Working closely with everyone across the hospital is essential to ensure we care for all our patients efficiently. We are dedicated to excellence and providing a 5-star experience for both our clients and patients at all times. Our nursing team shares the responsibility of maintaining high hygiene standards, caring for equipment, and managing stock effectively.
