Job description

Our Group:

At Pet Practice we are an exciting, independent, growing veterinary group that’s been giving a fresh look to working in the veterinary sector for the past fifteen years now. We are not a corporate focused on profit to the detriment of its clients and staff. With twelve practices neither are we a small independent at risk from competition or takeover. We have the security of being a sizeable veterinary group but with the benefits and personal touch of being family owned. Independent is what we love and how we will remain. We do not lock our staff into working for us under the premise of joint venture and other hidden restrictions. At Pet Practice we lead the way in the packages we offer our staff and are proud that all the income we earn as a team is invested back into our staff and the facilities they work in. We’ve led the way in the salaries we offer, led the way in the holiday our nurses and vets can take at up to six weeks per annum and schedule major refits on all our clinics every ten years to keep them fresh. Whilst an ongoing schedule of investment is of paramount importance to us we continue to grow alongside this adding new practices to the group.

Our staff’s loyalty is built around mutual respect and working with your requirements to create a job role that is right for you. No on-call and flexible rotas ensure your work life balance leaves you fresh and enthusiastic. Hear what our staff have to say by having a read on our website recruitment page.

Our Billingshurst Vacancy:

Our lovely Billingshurst surgery is located adjacent to the South Downs national park. It has all the facilities you would expect of a modern practice including digital radiography, ultrasonography, an Idexx in-house integrated laboratory and dedicated surgical facilities for both our use and that of our visiting peripatetic clinicians. As Hollie, one of our existing RVNs, is now on maternity leave we are looking for fixed term cover from a dynamic and experienced nurse. There is the potential for long term employment beyond the standard fixed term maternity contract dependent on Hollie’s returning rota.

The Package:

• £33,500salary commensurate with experience and hours.
• Full-time = 5 day week andevery fourth Saturday. Part-time hours also available.
• No on call, no working Sundays, no working bank holidays.
• Up to six weeks leave in addition to the above.
• Loyalty bonus scheme.
• Staff recruitment reward scheme.
• Staff animals treated at cost.
• 25-35% Pets Corner shop discount.
