Job description

Our clinic in Bamber Bridge is looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join their team.

Nestled in the high street of Bamber Bridge, the practice is an award-winning clinic with a great team! Medivet Bamber Bridge (commonly known as Withy Grove Vets) is a state-of-the-art veterinary practice equipped with modern amenities. We have eight vets on board and boast digital X-ray facilities, in-house blood machines, dedicated dog and cat wards and theatres, a dental suite, and a rabbit-friendly environment. We offer laparoscopic surgery as well as orthopaedics, providing lots of opportunities to get involved with advanced surgery.

As a crucial member of our professional and personable team, you'll go beyond standard consulting. Your role involves active listening, empathizing, and prioritizing patients and clients.

Your softer skills, such as effective communication and a desire to share knowledge, make you an outstanding example for others.

The ideal candidate will have a client-oriented approach, and excellent communication skills are a must.

We offer excellent long-term prospects for the right candidate, with advancement in skills and specialism actively encouraged. Experience working in an environment where colleagues support you by sharing skills and knowledge to give our patients the best outcomes.
