Permanent Registered Veterinary Nurse - Southport

Type : Small Animal

Location : Southport

Practice Type : Part of a group

Facilities: They are a busy small animal practice, set across three branches, based in Merseyside. The location is semi-rural at the gateway to North Wales and the Lake District with easy access to rail and motorway links and striking distance to Liverpool and Manchester. The practice is well equipped with the usual tools e.g. Digital x-ray, in-house laboratory, blood machines, ECG, ultrasound scanner, endoscope, Digital x-ray, etc. which allows the opportunity to work up cases.

Team : This is a great opportunity for the right candidate to join the friendly 12 Small Animal Vet team which is well supported by brilliant RVNs and excellent lay staff. A number of the Vet team hold additional qualifications including certificates in Medicine and Surgery. 

Role:   An exciting opportunity has become available for a full or part-time Veterinary Surgeon.

Hours:  Due to having a large team and excellent support network they can accommodate full or part-time applicants and can offer various flexible shift patterns. The current full-time vets tend to work three 9-hour days and one 6-hour day. They also have part-time vets working one or two days a week. The rota involves 1:4 weekends on duty, with time off in lieu.

Out-of-hours is outsourced from 7 pm, 7 days a week. A working weekend involves a morning of consulting on both Saturday and Sunday, and only one of the weekend days provides cover until 7 pm. There is a bonus paid for cases seen between 1 pm and 7 pm on a Saturday and Sunday.
