About the role
As senior RVN, you will work on opposite shifts from your Head Nurse, to ensure the efficient running and coordination of the hospital and inpatients is being conducted as smoothly as possible (although we know there are "those days!") Along with other senior accountabilities ranging from liaising with branches and in-patient organisation, you will work closely with your Head Nurse, to ensure the training of junior colleagues is being conducted to a high standard and passing on those valuable skills to our future RVN’s.
This role will be perfect for an experienced RVN with a cool head, who thrives in a fast-paced hospital environment and is wanting to take that next step up toward senior nursing and responsibility.
Leadership training will be provided.
This is a full-time position including a 1:4 weekend rotation with time off in lieu ensuring you are not working long stretches, and up to 2 bank holidays per year. There are NO on-call requirements for this position.
Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital offers a varied caseload of routine procedures, emergency and critical care, as it not only has its own first opinion client base, but also supports the surrounding Goddard practices for internal referral cases that require hospital expertise.
The hospital also provides specialist work with an orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeon, dermatologist, and physiotherapist.
Stone Lion is equipped with everything you would expect from a 24-hour hospital and are now offering laparoscopic spays. We are an RCVS Accredited Hospital and for the cat lovers out there, hold an ISFM Silver Award for Cat Friendly Clinics.
