Are you a Registered Veterinary Nurse looking to take the next step in your career? Want to step into Management with a supportive and welcoming team?

Ashfield Vets are looking for a confident RVN to over-see our Wakefield branch, to ensure the practice provides excellent patient and client care. You will be fully supported by a team of support staff, Head Nurse, Operations Manager and Clinical Director.

All our practices are based in the heart of England in the UK offering excellent transport links, providing fast connections by road, rail, and air. At the intersection between the M1 and M62 and with the A1 at its eastern boundary, the district is well placed to access other regional centres such as Leeds, Sheffield and York.

Some of your duties will involve clinical coaching, conducting appraisals and performance management. You will also participate in clinical development meetings, helping to feedback and recommend positive changes for the nursing team.

Alongside excellent remuneration we offer a comprehensive benefits package including up to 7 weeks holiday a year + Bank Holidays on our buy sell holiday scheme, the option of flexible working, no OOH and fully funded CPD and further training. Relocation packages can be discussed.

Company

Ashfield Veterinary Group has branches in Halifax, Meltham, Wakefield and Wibsey. We are committed to providing excellence in preventative care, routine and non-routine surgery, diagnostics and clinical healthcare.

Our facilities:
All our surgeries have well equipped dedicated operating theatres. Heath House has separate theatres for different types of operation. Consequently this is where the majority of non-routine surgery will take place. Where required, we will provide for transfer of pets to Heath House and back to Wibsey, Wakefield or Meltham.

Our inpatient facilities are comfortable, secure and constantly monitored by vets and nursing staff to aid your pet’s recovery. Overnight patients will be hospitalised at Heath House where they will have access to all our facilities and equipment. As each case varies in its requirements and dependencies, a tailored care plan will be created for your pet and discussed with you upon admission.

In conjunction with our “out of hours” partners, West Mount Vets and Springfield Veterinary Group, we provide 24-hour emergency cover. We have a wide range of equipment to enable us to carry out surgical procedures, investigations and tests including:

  • Anaesthetic monitoring.
  • Dental surgery.
  • In-house laboratory for speedy results and access to external laboratories for specialist tests.
  • Blood pressure monitoring equipment.
  • ECG equipment to monitor and analyse the heart.
  • X-ray, ultrasound and endoscopy.
  •  In-house pharmacy to dispense medication ensuring your pet receives top quality, in date, licenced medication supplied and stored to optimum standards.
