Job Details

The Role
Manor Veterinary Clinic is looking for a dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join the team! The successful applicant will assist the Veterinary Surgeon with the day-to-day running of a busy Veterinary practice and have great clinical exposure during their varied working day. The current rota is 4 days one week and 4.5 the next, working a 39-hour week. Saturday mornings 2:6 and work over the hours of 8:30 am to 13:30 pm. There are no out of hours for this position.

Salary
Salary for the role will start from £24,000 per annum depending on experience.

About Us
We have a stunning new build practice on the Kent coast with up-to-date facilities which include ultrasound, 2 x capnography, dental x-rays. The nurses have their own consult room from which they run successful nurse clinics. We are close to the highspeed link to London and the Channel Tunnel is on our doorstep. The best of both worlds, we are close to the sea and the North Downs.

About the Team and Culture
We have 4 Veterinary Surgeons with 26 years’ experience between them (3.25 FTE). We have 7 nurses; 6 Registered Veterinary Nurses and 1 student, all are passionate about their work, have a wealth of experience, and run their own consults. We have 4 receptionists (3 of them have been with us forever!). They know most of the clients and have a great rapport with them. Then there's us - we have 2 practice managers - we are happy to arrange your referrals, fill out your insurance forms, and generally make your life as easy as we can.

We have peripatetic vets who come into the practice for orthopedics and heart problems. Prior to the pandemic, we had an annual open day with lots of cake, games, raffles (did I mention cake?) March 2020 would have been our 10th Anniversary and we had lots of plans - we're hoping for 2022! We used this to support Battersea, along with running cake sales (yep, cake again) and our ever-popular 'purple poppies' in November. We also used to visit local schools, brownies, beavers to talk about our jobs and looking after pets – hopefully, we can get back to this soon.

Applicant Requirements
We are open to all levels of experience, due to being able to support all applicants – however, you must be a qualified RVN. We ask that you have a committed approach to your work accompanied by a positive can-do attitude.

You must be a great communicator and team player with an excellent bedside manner.
