Registered Veterinary Nurse

Are you looking for a friendly and inclusive team who will support you to flourish as an RVN? Do you miss the reward of nursing a case from start to finish?

The Practice

Bicester Vets is an independent, RCVS accredited, single site hospital with 24-hour nursing care.

The Role

Our RVNs work in all departments on a regular, rotational basis. With a large vet team of certificate holders and advanced practitioners most cases are treated in house, ensuring a varied and fulfilling nursing experience with case continuity. Covering our own out of hours also means you will have lots of opportunity to deal with emergency and critical care cases, enhancing your skills in this area. If nurse clinics are your passion, we provide a full range including weight clinics, laser clinics, adolescent health checks, and second vaccinations. Our RVNs routinely scrub into laparoscopic surgeries and assist with dental scaling and polishing as well as suturing. As a teaching hospital, we are also an ideal setting for newly qualified nurses to strengthen their skills whilst surrounded by an experienced and supportive team.
