In this role, you'll spend two weeks out of three on inpatient shifts, taking the lead in caring for patients across both the first opinion and referral sides of the hospital. You'll ensure every patient receives the very best care, supported by a talented and experienced team of RVNs.

Our new hospital features 9 spacious consulting rooms, 3 fully equipped operating theatres, a diagnostic suite, digital X-ray, a dedicated dental suite, and an isolation unit. We also provide separate cat and dog wards for low-stress patient care, along with a central prep area to support efficient clinical workflow. Designed to deliver first opinion, referral, and out-of-hours care, our facility brings high-quality veterinary services to pets in the surrounding community. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in supporting patients through their treatment and recovery, while being part of a supportive and highly skilled hospital team. The perfect candidate will be an experienced RVN with a keen interest in inpatient/ECC care with great clinical standards. You'll be confident managing:

• Indwelling catheters
• A wide variety of complex medical and surgical cases
