Job description

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, team-orientated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Woodland Vets, Midhurst on a part-time basis.

We have lots of toys, to name a few, a digital x-ray, a dental x-ray, a multiparameter anaesthetic monitoring machine, blood pressure, a microscope, in-house biochemistry and haematology blood machines, an ultrasound with cardiac and an abdominal probe, a laser, an ECG, an endoscope and a tonometer.

We would confidently say one of our unique selling points is our team. If you are looking to join a warm and friendly team, then we would love to hear from you. We have an amazing team of Vets, Nurses, VCA's and Front of house. All working together to achieve an excellent standard of care. We have a nurturing culture with a high emphasis on learning and development.

We have several certificate holders who are always sharing their knowledge and discussing cases with the nursing team. We encourage our nurses to pursue their passions in whatever form. We look after the residents of a local Cats Protection Adoption Centre, meaning there is not a week that goes by without a kitten cuddle.

Please see below a short testimonial from our Head Nurse, Amanda:

""Hi, my name is Amanda. I am a Head Nurse here at Woodland Vets. I have been part of this family for 7 years. We have a fantastic supportive team which includes Vets, RVNs, SVN's, VCA's and a receptionist. We would love for you to join our team and look forward to meeting you.""
