Veterinary Nurse - New Mills

The Opportunity

Medivet New Mills is located in a beautiful and thriving town within the High Peak. It offers amazing countryside views as far as the eye can see, teamed with choices of restaurants, traditional pubs and shops, along with a wide range of activities for all the family throughout the year. It has excellent transport links and the town is a popular gateway to the Peak District, very close to the National Trust’s Lyme Park, and makes the perfect base for exploring the beautiful Derbyshire countryside and local nature reserves.

New Mills practice has a friendly client base who appreciates the personal service we provide. The practice has our Branch Partner and 2 other Vets, a Practice Manager, RVN, and 2 Student Nurses along with a support team that are dedicated to our client and patient needs. We are lucky enough to have the support from our Buxton practice within the region, working closely together in partnership. You will therefore cover here 1 day per week too.

We are offering this as a fixed-term contract, working 5 days per week and 1 in 4 Saturdays (8:00 - 16:30).

This is the perfect opportunity to take the next step in your career by joining the growing Medivet community. We want to be the best place for vets and nurses to work, and we're taking the right steps in achieving this. For more information contact gemma.butterfield@medivet.co.uk.
