Registered Veterinary Nurse

Portsmouth Vets for Pets have an unmissable opportunity for a talented RVN to join our friendly team in our well-established and busy practice. We're proud of our low colleague turnover with several colleagues having been with us for over 11 years!, No two days are the same and you'll get to use your full range of skills from claw clips to assisting with orthopaedic surgery, to nurse clinics and creating bonds with your clients. We have a dedicated non-clinical team, so our nurses don't have any reception duties and as a nurse training practice there's also the opportunity to become a clinical coach, if that's where your strengths lie. We really try to support all members of our team and offer a day off each week, paid overtime, protected admin time and a supportive environment. Although busy with a varied caseload we try to work at a steady pace with a well-managed diary to ensure we stay organised and finish on time as much as possible. This is a part time position. Hours can be discussed for the right candidate About you You will be a dynamic and proactive nurse with solid all-round skills in delivering excellent patient and client care. You will also be a strong team player and have 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.
