The Role
Due to our recent baby boom we are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our lovely team. Duties will include being involved with all aspects of nursing including inpatient care, theatre and laboratory work along with some reception duties as needed. We like our nurses to use their skills to the fullest and to work as a team to offer fantastic service to our patients and their humans.

About Us
Colebrook is a growing 2 vet practice on the outskirts of Birmingham. It has all of the equipment you would expect at a branch practice including x-rays, ultrasound, dental x-ray, 2 consult rooms, fully equipped theatre. Being part of a larger group allows us to offer CT scanning, MRI scans, K- laser and access to certificate holders in medicine, surgery, imaging and exotics.

We have 26 vets (9 certificate holders in multiple disciplines), 27 RVNs, 5 SVNs, 1 Recovery ANA, 11 Veterinary Auxiliaries alongside a full complement of reception and admin staff working throughout our 7 surgeries.
 
Applicant requirements
The vacancy is for a Registered Veterinary Nurse who is hardworking and enthusiastic. The successful candidate will be confident in all aspects of nursing including inpatient care and theatre work.
