Certified Nursing Assistant jobs in Großbritannien

Vale Referrals are looking for an RVN to work across our 1st opinion and referral departments. This includes opportunities of rotating into 1st opinion surgery, wards, ophthalmology, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, medicine & nursing clinics.

The shifts are based on a 40-hour-a-week rota, working 5x 8-hour days with a 30-minute lunch break. The role involves 1:8 weekends with time off in lieu and minimal weekday on-call duties.

At Vale Vets and Referrals, we have recently gone through a hospital expansion, so we have new facilities consisting of 5 theatres, a medicine suite for ultrasound and endoscopy, a dental room, x-ray, larger ward areas with a separate cat ward and treatment room, and separate exotics ward. We also have an onsite CT scanner.

We have a large team of 40 RVNs, SVNs, and hospital assistants. Many of our RVNs hold advanced diplomas and certificates and therefore can offer junior members of the team support and learning opportunities. We actively encourage and support the development of our team members through advanced qualifications and other CPD courses. We also adopt an evidence-based, no-blame culture where we encourage our team members to have a voice and strive continually to improve the ways that we work.

We conduct regular team meetings, critical event meetings and crash debriefs, along with biannual 1-2-1 meetings.

We are looking for dynamic individuals who are keen to progress their nursing knowledge and skills within a busy and fast-paced environment. If you enjoy a varied caseload with no two days being the same, this would be a great role for you.

Although advantageous, previous referral experience is not necessary as full training will be provided.

This is a full-time role consisting of 40 hours per week, made up of five 8-hour days with a 30-minute lunch break. There are 1 in 8 weekends required with time off in lieu provided. This is a 12-month fixed-term position.
