The Role
An exciting opportunity has become available at Moorview Referrals for a Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly, motivated team.
You will be expected to carry out general nursing duties with shifts rotating through surgery, ECC, medicine and kennels, enabling you to continue to develop your clinical skills in a variety of disciplines. All special interests will be welcomed and supported, with generous CPD funding and certificate support available.
This is a full-time position working 40 hours over 5 days and 1:5 or 1:6 weekends. We care about our staff having a good work life balance so for weekend work you will be given time off in lieu.
