Job description

Registered Veterinary Nurse - Bracken Veterinary Centre

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join us at Bracken Veterinary Centre as a Registered Veterinary Nurse with a salary up to £30,000 per annum DOE.

Bracken Vets is a busy small animal veterinary practice located in central Bracknell, within walking distance of The Lexicon, 5 minutes from the M4, and close to Heathrow airport. You will work alongside a team of 7 Vets, 4 RVNs, 2 SVNs, 2 PCAs, and 5 receptionists. Our current Head Veterinary Nurse is stepping back from management to focus on family but remains part of our close-knit team.

We uphold high standards of care and expertise, performing advanced surgeries and managing complex medical cases. Our nurses' skills are highly valued and utilized daily; we are eager to expand the use of Schedule 3 procedures. We welcome innovative ideas to develop our nursing team's capabilities. Our practice is well-equipped with two theatres, separate dental and imaging facilities, dedicated dog and cat wards, a nurse consulting room, and a large prep area. We are committed to providing the best care for our clients and their pets, supported by modern equipment and excellent facilities.

Our nursing team is progressive, with qualifications including DipCVN/DipAVN, certificates in anaesthesia and critical care, and a medicine nursing certificate in progress. Among our veterinarians, we have an Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Medicine, with others pursuing certificates in surgery, medicine, and diagnostic imaging. We are an RCVS GP practice with awards for Client Service (Outstanding), Patient Consultation Service (Outstanding), and Diagnostic Service (Good), and we aim for further recognition. We also hold Silver ISFM Cat Friendly status.

We are open to full-time applicants with some flexibility, participating in a Saturday rota (8 am to 1 pm) on a 1:4 basis. There are no out-of-hours duties. Salary is up to £30,000 DOE.

Our standard benefits include:

• 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays, with a Buy/Sell holiday scheme to purchase additional leave
• Fully funded CPD opportunities, supported by internal and external courses
• An extra day of leave each year for the first five years at CVS
• Cycle to work scheme and subsidised gym membership
• Enhanced maternity, paternity, and adoption pay
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Pension scheme with automatic enrolment
• Access to First Aid for Mental Health and Wellbeing Champions
• Colleague discounts on pet products and treatments, including free consultations, cost-price drugs, and discounts on our online pharmacy
• Access to the company share-save scheme
