Are you an RVN with occasional availability for interesting and challenging clinical shifts?
Towcester Veterinary Centre is a mixed veterinary practice located over 4 sites within and around the historic town of Towcester, Northamptonshire. We are an RCVS accredited, independent practice, with a friendly team who are dedicated to delivering great service with a personal touch.
Our Small Animal practice has attained Tier Three status and includes a hospital plus 2 smaller sites (Weedon and Paulerspury). We are a Gold Standard Cat Friendly clinic, offering separate dog and cat waiting areas and ward facilities. We have two surgery certificate holders and one medicine certificate holder and therefore have the opportunity to work cases up to the highest degree. We offer laparoscopy, endoscopy, orthopaedic work and have an extensive in-house lab, ultrasound and digital x-ray equipment to support our treatment. Our lab facilities include Milab/Vetscan and bacterial culture testing, and you will be trained to use this equipment.
We are looking for someone to join our Zero hours team and work with us on an ad hoc basis – this may be night shifts (lone working), weekends (predominantly lone working) or day shifts. Although we operate an emergency clinic on a Saturday morning, any weekend or night shift working hours will be lone working at our hospital in Towcester, caring for our inpatients and assisting the on-call Vet with any emergency work that arises out of hours. Therefore, any applicants should feel confident they have the necessary experience to respond to emergency situations and possess the necessary organisation skills and motivation to work productively without supervision. Day shifts will be part of the main team which varies in size depending on which clinic.
You will also be passionate about animal care, Communication skills are also key, as well as enthusiasm and resilience – we work in a challenging but ultimately rewarding industry! If you are ready for a change and have a confident and positive outlook, then we would like to hear from you…
Benefits include staff discount (where the minimum number of qualifying shifts are met).
To be considered for either of these roles please submit your CV plus a covering letter outlining why you are interested in joining our Practice, your salary expectations and availability to Sue Adams, HR Manager sue.adams@towcestervets.co.uk
