Are you a compassionate and dedicated RVN looking to join a quaint and busy practice?

Farnham Vet Group is looking for an experienced and confident Senior RVN to join our friendly and highly skilled team on a Fixed Term basis for 12 months.

We have three RCVS accredited sites and combine the best aspects of high-level and local veterinary practice to provide the best of both worlds - with our state-of-the-art Farnham Veterinary Hospital, and our local branches in Farncombe and Vale.

Across all three of our sites, our aim remains the same - to provide the best level of care possible with our clients and patients at the forefront of everything that we do.

The Vale branch has 1 Vet, 1 Nurse and Receptionist. We are busy with consults and have usually about 1-2 operations per day. As a small practice we are very good with client and patient connection and continuity.

We strive to give our team a good work/life balance and we believe everyone should feel supported to do their best in this great career. We encourage and fully support further development with a generous CPD allowance and certificate opportunities.

We have one of the largest first-opinion hospitals in Surrey, providing 24/7 care with a whole host of high spec equipment and see a wide variety of complex cases. Our branches in Vale and Farncombe offer a range of services and have become community staples. We care for each and every patient as if they were our own pet, and we nurture strong relationships with our clients.

Here's what our Team have to say:

'Lovely stable branch practice with ability to run comprehensive bloods, undertake routine procedures, ultrasound and Xray. Full support of the hospital for more complex cases. Clients are very appreciative of the continuity of care we offer'. Senior Nurse at Vale 14 years qualified
