Summer à United States

We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Walkden.

The Role

A full time candidate would work 37.5 hours, over 5 days usually; however, we'd also be happy to hear from those looking for less hours or a more flexible arrangement. The practice is open between the hours of 08:30 and 19:00. We currently do not open on Saturdays.

The Team

Our team currently comprises of 3.5 Veterinary Surgeons, 3.5 RVNs, 2 Veterinary Care Assistants, and 2 Client Care Coordinators. Our CD has a medical certificate, our senior vet is interested in dermatology, and our amazing new grad enjoys dentistry, so as you can imagine, lots of interesting cases coming through the door! We have a laboratory, two operating theatres, a preparation room, dental suite with dental x-ray, separate x-ray suite, ultrasound tonopen & multi parameters. Our 'relaxation room' is available at any time during the day, as well as a kitchen, 4 consult rooms with a separate dispensary. We have an isolation room where our cats are hospitalized and large dog kennels.

The Location

The train station is a 3 minute drive away and just an 8 minute walk away, so great for those who may need to commute. We have a shopping centre, lovely restaurants nearby, as well as a cinema and bowling alley which is currently under construction just 5 minutes walk away. Lovely walks are close by, and a 10 minute drive gets you to the historic village of Worsley.

Wellbeing and Team Culture

At White Cross, we take wellbeing very seriously and therefore we plan a wellbeing afternoon monthly. This is where we can take time out as a team to enjoy something together. Recently we've played some old school board games which became very competitive, and in the summer we like to get the deck chairs out or have a BBQ! Outside of work, we love to get together at Christmas or in the Summer also.

We have a comprehensive approach working towards improving standards of sustainability. Our focus is to always provide gold standard care in equal measures treating pets, staff, and clients with respect and identifying opportunities to succeed in an ever-evolving world.
