Job description

Permanent Registered Veterinary Nurse, Banbury

Why Join Them?

• This is a unique opportunity to become part of a passionate and supportive team within a growing independent practice.
• The leadership team is made up of practicing vets, ensuring the practice remains responsive, agile, and focused on delivering exceptional care to patients and clients.

The Role: Are you an experienced Small Animal RVN looking for the next step in your career? They're offering an exciting opportunity to join a large, supportive, and well-established nursing team in a busy, independent practice.

About the Role:

• This position is ideal for a passionate and self-motivated RVN who wants to work within a dynamic hospital environment alongside a dedicated Small Animal Team. You’ll focus on delivering the highest standard of patient care while being supported by an outstanding team of receptionists managing the front-of-house.
• As part of a close-knit team of 15 RVNs, 4 Student Nurses, and 5 Assistants, you’ll have access to a structured career pathway, training opportunities, and mentorship.

Working Pattern:

• This is a full-time role (40 hours per week) worked over 4 or 5 weekdays.
• Participation in the OOH weekend rota (1:6) is required. However, there are no mid-week night shifts as these are covered by a dedicated team of Night Nurses.

Key Responsibilities:

• Delivering excellent nursing care in a fast-paced hospital environment using state-of-the-art equipment.
• Participating in all aspects of nursing, including nurse clinics, surgical nursing (including anaesthesia), internal medicine, and emergency and critical care.
• Performing advanced nursing skills such as blood sampling, intubation, and IV catheter placement.
• Collaborating with the team to ensure each case is completed to the highest standards.

Career Development: They are committed to supporting your professional growth. From undertaking certificates to accessing Central CPD resources, their team is here to help you achieve your career aspirations. In the past, many of their nurses have completed additional qualifications, fully sponsored by the practice.

What They’re Looking For:

• A minimum of 1-year of qualified experience in a similar UK environment (3+ years preferred).
• Self-motivated, with strong use of initiative.
• A team player with excellent communication skills and a passion for delivering high standards of care.
• A UK driving licence and access to your own transport.
• IT literacy and the ability to quickly adapt to new systems.

What They Offer:

• Competitive salary starting at £28,000 p/a (based on experience).
• 5.6 weeks of holiday entitlement, increasing with the length of service.
• Funded RCVS membership.
• CPD allowance of £600 and 2 days off for training, with sponsorship for further qualifications.
• Free healthcare cash plan, flu jab, and Employee Assistance Programme.
• Enhanced sick pay, maternity policy, and family benefits.
• Dedicated career pathway with mentorship and opportunities for growth.
• Thriving employee well-being initiatives, including team events, well-being campaigns, and energy boxes for those low-sugar moments.
