About us
Vet4life are a 3-branch primary care practice based in Teddington, Shepperton and Surbiton. We are looking for registered veterinary nurse to join our lovely team in Shepperton, Surrey. Being accredited with a Bronze cat friendly clinic award and RCVS, we thrive to exceed expectations by providing expert care for our clients and their pets as we dedicate our time to look after them and keep them healthy.
Your role and responsibilities
If you’re looking for a supportive, encouraging, and proactive place to work, then the Vet4life family are for you!
Vet4Life are seeking a registered veterinary nurse (RVN) to join our Shepperton branch on a full-time basis.
We are well-established in the area and our clients are dedicated and bonded and want the highest quality people to be looking after their pets. Patient care continuity is supported with 24-hour provision from Vets Now.
There is state of the art equipment throughout, which includes capnography, multi-parameter GA monitoring, Bair-huggers, digital x-ray, and ultrasound.
The Vet4life team consists of 12 vets, 7 RVNs, 5 student veterinary nurses, 3 patient care assistants and 8 client care assistants.
The nursing duties include a share of inpatient care, consulting, and surgical nursing. Schedule 3 procedures for RVNs are supported and encouraged.
We hold regular nursing and clinic meetings (with treats!) and have an inclusive and positive approach. We have a strong focus on wellbeing and are a social and fun team.
This role would suit a friendly, reliable, and passionate RVN wishing to join a talented clinical team to help them deliver the highest possible standard patient and client care.
We are committed to training the next generation of nurses, and therefore, a clinical coach qualification would be advantageous, however, encouragement and training would be given to those without previous coaching experience.
