London Area, United Kingdom Goddard Veterinary Group Full time

Welcome to Wanstead Veterinary Hospital Our largest 24-hour hospital in the group is looking for an RVN who thrives and excels in the theatre environment, and is looking to step into an orthopaedic nurse role.

About your new role

This full-time (40 hours per week) RVN position would be
IDEAL
for an RVN who thrives in theatre, particularly when assisting in orthopaedic surgeries.

Your rota will include an average of 1:4 weekends with TOIL and up to 3 bank holidays per year, plus a last resort on-call rotation.
You will be rota 'd to the same shifts as our orthopaedic surgeon, to aid an efficient and streamlined patient journey. When our surgeon is not operating, you will help support other areas of theatre.

This role would suit an RVN who has always felt the theatre was their comfort zone, and orthopaedics are an area of interest and expertise.

There is fantastic diagnostic support at Wanstead, with a CT scanner, a commercial laboratory, a strong medical team, and experienced surgeons routinely conducting advanced orthopaedic, soft tissue, and minimally invasive surgery all on site.

You will be working alongside a large team consisting of approximately 24 vets, 27 RVNs, 14 SVNs, 7 VCAs and a large front of house team who are integral in maintaining excellent client care.

In terms of support, you will have a senior theatre RVN who you will work with to ensure theatre protocols are being maintained and continually advanced, as well as two deputy head nurses, head nurse and hospital manager who originally trained through us and has built up a wealth of knowledge and experience.

As Wanstead is our largest hospital in the group, this brings with it ample training opportunities, but also development and encouraging internal progression, as a large number of our nurses have worked up to senior, deputy and head positions over the years.

Wanstead itself is on the outskirts of suburban Essex but has quick and direct transport links that take you straight into all areas of London, with Snaresbrook and Wanstead stations being a short walk away on the Central Line.

Now let's delve into the nitty gritty, here is what we offer you:

Our RVN salary band is
£32,000 to £35,000
depending on prior experience and allowing room for growth within the role.

  • 6.6 weeks annual leave including bank holidays

  • CPD budget every year plus up to 2 days' paid CPD leave

  • Paid lunch breaks
