Career progression and a great quality of life? You can have it all at Truro Vets for Pets!
We have an exciting opportunity for a RVN to join our forward thinking, positive and friendly team at Truro Vets4Pets.
About us As a small animal RCVS accredited training practice offering advanced surgeries, we are at the heart of community life. Many of our clients have been with us for years, trusting us to take the best possible care of their extended family members.
You will be joining an outstanding team of Vets and Nurses, SVN and ANA, with our clinical team also supported by an equally brilliant and welcoming team of 6 client care advisors as well as our Practice Manager who is also a RVN. Raul is the practice owner of both Truro and Camborne vets, specialising in Orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery.
We pride ourselves on not only providing excellent care to our patients and clients, but also to each other!
The role You'll have the opportunity to put all your hard-earned skills into practice with varied days including engaging in anaesthetics, Schedule 3 procedures (if this is something that interests you), complex in-patient care, and nurse clinics. The role has a huge amount of scope giving the freedom to progress in the areas that you enjoy most. As an owner, Raul feels incredibly passionate about nurses utilising all their skills and knowledge; therefore, CPD is always encouraged.
This role is full or part-time (20-40 hours per week) and includes 1 in 4 Saturdays. (No OOH, Sundays. Bank holidays are shared between nurses, but we are closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day.)
About you We are looking for an RVN who is down to earth with great communication skills, both with colleagues and clients alike. Someone who has a passion for nursing and always strives to provide excellent care.
Experience would be beneficial; however, we are a very supportive team who will also be happy to support you if this is one of your first roles.
Our offer In addition to a competitive salary, we can offer you:
5.6 weeks annual leave as standard (pro-rata for part-time); this does increase to 6.6 after two years of working for us. Paid memberships including RCVS and BVNA. Life Assurance 4 x Annual Salary. Contributory Pension Scheme. Dedicated CPD allowance. Access to Colleague Assistance Programmes - Retail Trust, Port of Call and MHFA. Exclusive company discounts and rewards through our reward hub - including 20% off at Pets at Home, The Groom Room and Vet Group. The practice and location: The practice itself has been expanded and refurbished, comprising two theatres, three consulting rooms, a dog ward, a cat ward, and an isolation facility. One of our theatres is for Orthopaedic procedures and Lap Spays; we also have digital x-rays, endoscopy, and arthroscopy.
Based in an ideal location in Cornwall, we are surrounded by wonderful scenery and some of the best beaches in the country within a 15-20 minute drive. Truro has great access to the A30 and the A390 which connects the city to Falmouth, Redruth, Liskeard, and Plymouth.
Pets just see people. They aren't biased and they don't discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves, so even if your skills and experience don't perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you.
