Job description

We are looking for an enthusiastic Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team working in our main hospital in Thame.

Our full-time nurses work 40 hours per week with a 1:6 weekend rota. Our out-of-hours service is outsourced, but inpatient care overnight is still covered on a 1:5 basis. (with accommodation on site). This position could be full-time or part-time to fit around childcare or personal pursuits.

Join our team

We offer an experienced and interactive team of vets, nurses and support staff and, as we are a training practice, we encourage our RVNs to support and assist with the training of our SVNs.

We currently run nurse consultations and clinics, but there is plenty of scope to develop clinics in a particular direction.

We are interested to hear from candidates of all experience levels, whether you have just qualified or have a wealth of experience and are looking for a different challenge. Either way, you will be part of a kind, caring and dedicated team.
