MAT Cover RVN – Battersea

We are looking for a RVN to cover maternity leave from middle of July 2024 onwards. It is currently a 6-month availability but with a potential to stay longer if the staff member does not return to work after the maternity leave ends.

About the role:

• Equivalent to an annual salary of £30,000 for 40 hours per week. If you are newly qualified starting salary would be lower depending on experience.  Depending on length of experience, greater than one year, they may be able to offer higher than £30,000.
• Shifts are Monday – Friday 9am – 6pm, if you are wanting less than 40 hours per week, please let us know what hours you are interested in, we can be flexible.
• One Saturday shift a month 9am-1.30pm which can be taken as time in lieu or extra pay.
• The role is mainly surgery/medical nursing with some nurse consultations.
• 10 days annual leave if staying for 6 months only, plus bank holidays (pro rata) and CPD allowance. If staying longer than 6 months annual leave is 20 days per year.

You would be joining a small animal, independent practice in SW London. They are a hard-working and friendly team consisting of three vets and three RVNs (you would be covering the third RVN), one SQP and three VCAs nurse/support staff. Fully equipped practice with-in house MiLab blood machines, IV fluid pumps, digital radiographs, dental radiographs and ultrasound. They do see some exotics (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets) but experience in this area is not essential.

Usual day:

One vet consults all day and the other does a mixture of consults and surgery, they have three to four procedures/surgeries booked each day. Two RVNs look after the surgery and medical patients, one support staff on reception and one support staff in the office answering phone calls/dealing with emails.
