Job Details

The Role 

Here at Otter Vets, we are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse, to maintain our high level of patient care and help us develop our Nursing Clinics further. Due to having an already brilliant in-house team, we are able to offer both full-time and part-time hours allowing you to strike that balance between work/family life. 

Why are we hiring? 

Here at Otter, we are looking to expand our clinical coaching capacity and looking for an experienced RVN to support us.  

Our Sidmouth Surgery has been awarded Training Practice status, the ideal applicant would already be a Clinical Coach, however we would support any RVN’s in taking on this commitment for the first time. 

We encourage all our RVNs to undergo Clinical Coach training to support the Student Veterinary Nurses through their training and the assessment process.

You will receive time off in lieu of weekend worked, usually the following Friday.

Location

There is a good balance of City life and the Great Outdoors as we are based in the regency town of Sidmouth, East Devon on the coast. We have an additional clinic further inland at Ottery St Mary.  Both are located with easy access to the Jurassic Coast, Exeter, Plymouth, Taunton, Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks.

The Offer

Due to the flexibility, we can offer (part-time/fulltime hours), both salary and packages can vary depending on your experience levels however to give you an understanding we would be comfortable offering the right person up to £25,000 plus benefits.

Additionally, we are very keen to support certificate study and professional development, and we will strongly support the successful candidate in developing their clinical interests further (including management routes).
