Job Details

The Role

Pride Vets have an excellent opportunity for a Nurse to join their busy night team! Our Night Nurses assist the Night Veterinary Surgeon with any medical or surgical procedures that need to be performed. Responsibilities are numerous and varied so a great deal of flexibility and patience is required, in addition to being able to maintain records accurately and administer medications correctly. Under the guidance of the Veterinary Surgeon and by individual experience, our nurses can perform schedule 3 procedures. 

The following morning, all newly hospitalised cases must be passed over to a Scarsdale vet. Working 7 nights on followed by 14 nights off, you will be working alongside the same team, so you get the opportunity to bond as a cohesive force. It takes a very special person to work nights, if you think it could be you, please get in touch! 

We offer a competitive salary of up to £26,633 depending on experience. 
 

About Us

Pride Veterinary Centre offers a range of state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, and our diagnostics and treatment are second to none. We have many highly trained and experienced nurses to ensure that our patients receive the very best care.

We strive to provide a superb care environment, and our practice is set up with 13 consultation rooms, 7 hospital wards, 5 theatres, a full advanced imaging suite, 3 ultrasound rooms, an endoscopy suite, hydrotherapy pool and treadmills and dedicated chemo & radio-iodine treatment rooms. 
 

About the Team and Culture

Night work doesn’t include any of the regular appointments or animal MOTs. It’s very dependent on what arrives at the Practice on any given evening, or what cases there are already within our wards requiring care, so this role would suit someone who likes both a varied and reactive environment.

The team currently consists of a Vet, 3 Nurses, 2 Kennel Assistants and one intern. We also have students on rotation from the University of Nottingham.
