As an RVN with us, you'll have the opportunity to perform a variety of general nursing tasks including laboratory sampling, anaesthetics, radiography, and assisting veterinary surgeons.

What's in it for you?

You'll work 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with a rotational 5-week schedule that includes 1 in 5 Saturday mornings. With no out-of-hours responsibilities, you can focus on providing exceptional care during your shifts, knowing that Vets Now is there to support when you're off!

We're proud to be a well-equipped practice dedicated to delivering high-quality care to our patients. Beyond our professional duties, we value team camaraderie and socialise outside of work, fostering a supportive and collaborative culture.

About Our Talented Team

Join our close-knit team of veterinary professionals, including 6 Veterinary Surgeons, RVNs (2 SVNs soon to qualify), one Animal Care Assistant, and 9 support team members. With certificate holders in Anaesthesia and Analgesia, and ongoing pursuit of further qualifications in diagnostic imaging, soft tissue surgery, and ophthalmology, our team is committed to excellence and continuous learning. We're looking for individuals who share our values of enthusiasm, kindness, and teamwork, with excellent communication skills to contribute to our positive work environment.
