We are seeking a confident Senior Veterinary Nurse to lead a very organized, amazing team at our Edgware practice.  There is a well-established and friendly team, and the practice is very much part of the local community. The branch is situated opposite both the attractive Canons Park and Canons Park tube station. There are great transport connections into Central London and for gig and match lovers it’s really handy for Wembley!

You will be working alongside experienced and compassionate colleagues who have a passion for building strong bonds with their loyal client base.

Training and career progression is important to us, so we are looking for someone happy to be a clinical coach to support junior team members in their development whilst being able to develop your own skill set at the same time. Full training will be provided if you have no prior clinical coaching experience.

The Senior Veterinary Nurse role is full time at 40 hours a week with a Saturday rota of 1 in 3 and one Bank Holiday per annum; no nights or on call are required, as this is provided by our Mandeville Veterinary Hospital.   If you thrive on providing support to vets, clients and your team, love your time both in theatre and also providing great pet care advice and you believe that life is better with pets then our company culture will be ideal for you.

Our salary range is £28,000 to £32,000 depending on experience. In addition, we offer paid CPD with 2 full or 3 part days CPD allowance. We see CPD as an investment in the individual as well as for the practice, and in some roles, we can support study for nursing certificate qualifications.

We have a great benefits package including: 
– Simply Health which provides cashback/refunds on many routine medical costs such as dental care, physiotherapy, optician, chiropractic fees, and more.
– 24hr Employee Assistance Programme.
– Generous shopping/leisure discounts (never pay full price in all the major shops and cinemas again!).
– Cycle to work scheme.
– Great colleague pet discount scheme. 
– Paid BVNA membership, RCVS and VDS fees.
– Colleague Introduction incentive of £1500. 
– Increasing holiday allowance with length of service. 

Goddard Veterinary Group was started in 1952 by Arthur Goddard and now consists of 44 branches, 3 hospitals, and our own nursing college. We have a great reputation for looking after our people; over 20% of our team have been with us 10 years or more and we’re proud of our many 5-star employee reviews on Indeed.

In 2022 we are celebrating our 70th anniversary and have 44 branches, 3 hospitals and our own nurse training college.  We value all of our colleagues and our forward-looking approach means we have introduced a Colleague Forum to listen to our peers’ views, as well as monthly Town Hall meetings, communicating real time updates, taking polls with live Q&A’s to ensure we’re making the right, collaborative decisions for our people. All our senior managers are Mental Health First Aid trained and we offer Wellness plans for all our new starters. We are a forward-thinking practice and have developed our own successful contact centre to help ease reception pressure in our busy branches. We have a schedule of refurbishments planned and are continually reviewing equipment needs at our practices. As an A1 Home Office approved sponsor, we are sometimes able to help non-UK veterinary surgeons and nurses obtain a working visa.
