Job Details

The Veterinary Hospital is a purpose built RCVS accredited tier 3 Hospital in Gorleston, Norfolk.  Following recent expansion we are seeking RVN's to join our team.

We are a friendly hardworking team committed to high standards of patient and client care.  The Hospital is a centre for the local MiNightVet OOH service ensuring there is a vet and nurse on-site 24/7 to provide continued care to our patients.

Our hospital is equipped with separate dog, cat and isolation wards, recovery area and oxygen kennels. Digital x-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, an in-house lab and much more allowing us to offer a comprehensive service to our clients.

We see a varied small animal caseload which gives our nurses the opportunity to make the most of their qualifications.  Our nurses can focus on specific areas of interest such as in-patient care, surgical nursing, dental care or nurse clinics.

We strongly encourage and support CPD and have regular practice and nurse meetings to implement improvements and promote best practice.  We are committed to the wellbeing of all our staff and endeavour to support our nurses with fantastic career opportunities, a good work life balance and will always consider flexible working requests.

Our full-time nurses work a 40hr week, comprising of various shifts between 7.30am-8pm. 1 in 4 Saturday mornings, and a share in the weekend day out of hours rota (approx. 1 in 20 weekends).

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Norfolk coastline with one of the best climates in the country and a lower cost of living.
