Job Details

We have a great opportunity to join our Manchester Vet Centre branch in Denton.

At Manchester some of our staff have been practicing veterinary care for over 40 years and regularly attend advanced training sessions. The Branch Manager at Manchester has a diploma in anaesthesia and the practice has strong links to our own referral hospital in Northwich.

The role:
We are looking for an experienced registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team. The Head Nurse role will be suitable for either an experienced Head Nurse or for someone looking to further their career. The role provides the opportunity to develop skills and interests and support to establish nurse clinics within the practice.

The successful candidate must be motivated, show empathy with clients and pets and have a desire to utilise their nursing skills as much as possible (taking blood samples, placing IV cannulas, theatre nursing, anaesthesia, nursing sick patients, nurse clinics, senior checks, puppy developmental checks, diagnostic imaging and clinical coaching).

Flexibility in hours of work can be offered for the right candidate and both full time and part time hours could be considered. If full time it would be based on working 37.5 hours per week on a rota system, including working one Saturday a month. Please note that no OOH are required for this role.

Ongoing CPD is encouraged and funded.

Company

The Willows Veterinary group is an independently owned group of practices that has grown substantially over the last 50 years. As well as expanding organically by providing excellent service to local clients, there have been a number of purchases of other neighbouring practices and two mergers.

Presently we work from twenty five companion animal practices, a companion animal referral centre, two Equine sites and five farm offices. One small animal centre has hospital status as does one of the equine centres. In addition we also have our own retail farm store. Being owned and managed by our Veterinary surgeons, we consider it essential to offer our clinicians complete clinical freedom to ensure the best outcome for the animals in our care. We embrace all the latest technology and actively encourage our staff to further their ongoing professional development and learning. 

Our head office support centre looks after all the Marketing, Finance, IT and HR needs of the staff and business, thereby freeing up our vets to look after our patients. We are proud to have many long standing staff members who find our practices and offices, fun and rewarding places to work in.  The Willows Veterinary group has an enviable partner succession policy which provides a realistic route for young vets to develop as business partners at either divisional or board level.

We are committed to independent veterinary practice ownership. We will always be very interested in hearing from veterinary professionals looking to further their careers or practice owners looking for an alternative to corporate ownership.
