Job description

About animal Trust

We’re looking for a passionate RVN to join our team at Wrexham. Our affordable service will provide the pets and pet owners of North Wales with high-quality care without the hefty price tag. The diverse caseload at Animal Trust means no two days will be the same, allowing you to use all your nursing skills. This clinic will be supported by our 24/7 site at Shrewsbury, ensuring ongoing care for the pets we treat. This is a suitable role for an experienced or a newly qualified RVN, working with a friendly and supportive team.

Our clinic at Wrexham boasts four consulting rooms, and two fully equipped theatres to provide the highest quality of care to our patients. With separate dog and cat wards, we ensure a stress-free environment.

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.

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.
