Friendly surgical referral practice
Excellent salary package
CPD encouraged and funded to Diploma level

The Practice
We have with a delightful team of friendly and fun vets, nurses and support staff in purpose built premises on the beautiful southern fringe of the Lake District National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The area and this job is ideal for those who love spending time in the great outdoors, and/or those who want to live in a rural location whilst maintaining excellent working conditions and clinical standards. There are first class schools in easy reach of the practice, particularly of note are the two state funded Lancaster Grammar Schools and the excellent independent Sedbergh School.

The practice benefits from on site CT, regular high field MRI access, digital radiography, and Stryker digital arthroscopy in addition to an abundance of surgical equipment.

The Role
We are looking for a friendly colleague to join our referral nursing team. Full training is given so previous experience is less important than enthusiasm and the ability to fit into our team. Our nurses typically work between 30 and 40 hours per week which allows time for family and interests outside work. This is normally worked over four weekdays with a limited amount of weekend on call based on an equally shared rota.

Successful Candidate
An interest in surgical nursing, anaesthesia or postoperative management would be desirable. The ability to work in a team is vitally important.

The Package
Salary is commensurate with experience and would start at approximately £10 per hour for newly qualified RVN.
