Type: Small Animal

Location: King's Lynn, Norfolk

Practice Type: As an independent practice they are hugely proud of what they achieve each day and of the team that does it. They are a ferociously independently owned practice, one of only a small handful left in East Anglia. Their wards are spacious, equipment is first class, abundant, and includes CT.

Team: Their Nurse team forms the largest ‘unit’ in their two locations with its own headcount of 30 talented, brave, hard-working, creative, caring, and at times pure genius magicians. Experience in their team ranges from 18 years since qualification down to SVNs.

Support: Their nurse team is managed with care, compassion, and trust. Support is always on hand. Career goals are encouraged with many of their nurses currently studying for certificates.

Role: They are seeking talented RVNs or SVNs. You will work across both of their locations.

Duties: Their Nurses rotate between wards, theatres, and consults with a fair and even distribution. The caseload is abundant and intriguing with their theatre days offering up more than just routine procedures. Their rota is balanced to ensure a decent work/life balance.

  • Their nurses also work a night rota. They receive the Thursday preceding the duty and the Wednesday to Sunday following the duty off as recovery (please note that if you are attending college as part of your development you will be exempt from night duty during term time only).

Salary:
