The hospital is an ISFM gold feline clinic and was awarded the BVHA design award for an outstanding working environment. We are part of CVS (UK) Ltd, the largest provider of integrated veterinary services in the UK; the referrals division currently operates eight referral hospitals in the UK and Ireland.

We are looking for an enthusiastic RVN who is passionate about anaesthesia and analgesia to join our excellent and dedicated anaesthesia referral nursing team for a 12 month Maternity cover. This role involves working alongside a fantastic team of anaesthesia nurses and veterinary anaesthetists. We have a wide variety of cases from stable orthopaedic cases right through to critical cases, so every day is different. All cases are supported by a specialist anaesthetist from start to finish so they are always available to help with any complications.

We have an 8 week induction process to help you settle into your new role and get to know the team, and a Learning and Education Team Leader to help support with any further training you may feel necessary.

We offer an exceptional remuneration package including 5 weeks annual leave pro rata plus bank holidays, an enhanced – contributory pension and a competitive salary commensurate with experience amongst other benefits.

We are deeply committed to supporting the well-being of our staff. Our wellness program includes an Employee Assistance Programme with Health Assured, an optional health shield cash plan, Mental Health First Aiders, and Wellbeing Champions within the practice. We also have a refresh fund that provides breakfast mornings, among other initiatives.

Furthermore, we support further career progression with a generous CPD (Continuing Professional Development) allowance and associated time off. CVS provides a wide range of internal CPD courses, not exclusively focused on clinical work, allowing those interested in diversifying their skill set to benefit. Additionally, there are opportunities for clinical research and teaching.

We are committed to providing a good work life balance and therefore we are open to discussions regarding working patterns and hours.

CVS is committed to being a fully inclusive place to work where all our colleagues are encouraged and supported to be themselves, where difference is celebrated and where everyone feels able to deliver their best. We are also determined to build a workforce that is more representative of our diverse communities and the people we provide our services to.
