Head Veterinary Nurse – Staffordshire

My clients in Staffordshire are currently looking for a Head Veterinary Nurse to join their team.

They’re a community of passionate veterinary professionals committed to providing truly exceptional care. My client’s mission to deliver progressive, around the clock care means our employees have the very best equipment and treatment options available, including in-house MRI machines and state-of-the-art operating theatres. They provide ongoing support to their teams, both in practice and through the dedicated training centre. This empowers you to get the very best from the advanced equipment while being on your journey to veterinary excellence.

They are primarily looking for an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse to join the team as Head Veterinary Nurse at their fantastic practice based in Staffordshire. The role will involve all aspects of nursing as well as the day-to-day running of the practice. You will be responsible for a variety of nursing duties as well as sharing best practice with your team and helping to support and develop the student nurses in your practice as this position provides you with the opportunity to develop nursing clinics and use your initiative to promote new ideas.

More responsibilities will form part of this role with full support being provided by the nursing team. Salary up to £30,000 dependent on experience, RCVS fees paid CPD allowance, plus CPD leave 5 weeks annual leave plus bank holidays.

This is a full time permanent position, covering 40 hours a week. This shift pattern includes 1:3 Saturdays or 1:8 weekends. This is a really exciting time to join the team as the practice is about to have a refurbishment and their new, certificate holding lead vet joins the team soon, along with the vet who has an interest in exotics.

Head Nurses are provided with dedicated support with other duties, such as recruitment and Health and Safety. While there are still administration duties involved in this role, this support will allow you to spend more time managing your team and doing what you love, nursing!
