The successful candidate will be capable of mature decision-making whilst working in an ever-changing environment. We are looking for an exceptional individual with excellent communication and organisational skills with the ability to motivate a highly skilled team of RVNs, SVNs, and VNAs.

• This is a 40-hour per week position (Mon-Fri) with no rota’d weekends or on-call

The successful candidate will be rewarded with a generous salary and CPD allowance. We offer an excellent benefits package including increasing holiday allowance, enrolment on to our Simplyhealth Plan which provides cashback on many routine medical costs such as dental care, physiotherapy, optician, chiropractor fees, etc. plus generous shopping and leisure discounts, fully funded CPD, and paid BVNA and RCVS registration fees.
