Location: Woodstock, Oxfordshire
Hours: 7 nights on / 14 nights off
Shift pattern: 7:45pm – 7:45am
Salary: Annual salary with paid annual leave, bank holidays and CPD leave
Do you thrive in a hospital environment and enjoy providing excellent patient care overnight?
Medivet Woodstock is a busy 24-hour hospital and we are looking for a passionate and dedicated Night Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) to join our night team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an RVN who enjoys hospital nursing, emergency and critical care and providing high-quality out-of-hours care to our patients and their owners.
The role
You will work a 7 nights on, 14 nights off shift pattern, working from 7:45pm until 7:45am.
During your week of nights, you will work alongside another member of our experienced Woodstock night nursing team. You will also have a Woodstock vet working alongside you, with our night vets working on a 1-in-4 rota.
We have two support nurses on call, providing an additional level of support to the overnight team.
Our hospital has a varied and busy caseload, giving you the opportunity to care for a wide range of inpatients and emergency cases and to develop your clinical skills in a supportive hospital environment.
Previous emergency and critical care experience would be welcomed, but we are also interested in hearing from RVNs who have a strong interest in developing within a hospital setting.
A great work-life balance
The 7 nights on / 14 nights off pattern provides a fantastic balance between working in a busy hospital environment and having extended periods away from work, or flexibility to complete other shifts if you desire.
The role is offered on an annual salary, meaning your salary is paid evenly throughout the year and includes your entitlement to:
● Annual leave
● Bank holidays
● CPD leave
● An additional CPD allowance to support your learning, development and career progression
You’ll also be joining a large and supportive nursing team at Woodstock, with the reassurance that you are never working completely alone overnight.
Why Medivet Woodstock?
