Role Description

As an ECC RVN, you will play a critical role in caring for medical, surgical, and high-dependency patients, ensuring that each patient receives the highest standard of care. The role requires someone who is not only technically skilled but also deeply empathetic and attentive to patient needs. The position offers a full induction and training program, and you’ll work within a culture that promotes excellence and continuous development. You’ll be empowered to make a real difference to the lives of animals and their families while contributing to a strong and cohesive nursing team.
