Veterinary Nurse

Medivet Skeldale Veterinary 24-hour Hospital in Thirsk is a thriving practice set in beautiful North Yorkshire. The practice has a history like no other; we are the original home of the one and only James Herriot (Alf White) and we pride ourselves on maintaining the historic client focused ethos. The well-established team is led by our Branch Partner – Sarah who has celebrated her 11th year with the practice and is now looking to grow the team even further with a Registered Veterinary Nurse. The practice is a large purpose-built building in Thirsk (although the old surgery in town is worth a visit) and is an RCVS practice standard scheme accredited hospital and emergency service centre, as well as being an ISFM gold level accredited cat friendly practice. This is a busy practice with a large client base where no two days are the same. The caseload varies from routine consultations to procedures, with emergency and critical care which supports surrounding practices with out of hours service. The recently refurbished practice consists of 3 large consult rooms, a large operating theatre, dog and cat kennels, an imaging suite consisting of digital radiograph, ultrasound, and endoscopy, dental X-ray, well-equipped prep area and a large waiting area. We have dedicated night and day teams which both consist of multiple certificate holders in various disciplines within both our vet and nursing teams.
