Great location, great team and great support with a salary up to £30,000 AND a career on the coast!

Plymouth Vets for Pets have an unmissable opportunity for a talented RVN to join our friendly team in our well-established and busy practice.

About us:
Our practice is run by our Clinical Lead Vet Kendall as well as Katie and Nikki, our Head Nurse and Clinical Coach, and they are supported by a fantastic team all committed to delivering an outstanding level of service in the heart of our community.

We can offer a fantastic location to work, as well as boasting some state-of-the-art equipment and plenty of onsite parking.

The role available:
Based inside a popular Pets at Home store we have a varied and interesting caseload, offering you the opportunity to develop your experience and use your nursing skills to their full potential, admitting patients, monitoring anaesthetics, and recovering and discharging patients, all under the guidance and support of Katie and Nikki who have both been with the practice for 13 years!

Although a busy and popular practice with our clients, we try to work at a steady pace with a well-managed diary and consideration for all the team and with a dedicated non-clinical team lead by Ruby, our nurses don’t have any reception duties either!

About you:
You will be a caring and proactive nurse with solid all-round skills in delivering excellent patient and client care. You will also be a strong team player with good communication skills.

Our nursing team already excel in their own areas of interest, but we are always looking at how we can improve our clinical standards even more so If you are keen to develop within your own area of interest, we would offer full support for further study.

More benefits:

• Salary up to £30,000 depending on experience.
• No out of hours
• Paid holiday of 28 days, rising to 33 days after 2 years of service
• Paid professional memberships including RCVS and VDS

• Colleague reward hub – exclusive offers and discounts online and on the high street, including 20% off at Pets at Home, Vets4Pets and the Groom Room

And there’s more! 
We also benefit from an ideal location in the maritime city of Plymouth, based on a busy retail park with great amenities and within easy reach of local transport networks, main road network and transport links for international travel too!
