Kingston Veterinary Group, Hull

Up to GBP30,000 dependent on experience and up to GBP500 welcome bonus, plus benefits

If you are an RVN who has a passion to share your learnings and play an integral part in the training of SVNs and the induction and training of ACAs, then this tier 3 hospital role is for you. Furthermore, you need to lead by example and always be willing to step in when necessary.

KVG are seeking an RVN who would be excited to train our next wave of RVNs. To achieve this, you need to be able to set timely targets, put in place efficient training systems, whilst building good positive working relationships with students and newly recruited ACAs.

Rota patterns that work for you

Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours truly tips the scale on your work life balance. We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it brilliantly easy for you to strike the right balance. Whether you are looking to fix or flex your work patterns, we can find the right solution for you. We welcome full and part time applications. A full time role would involve working 4 days per week (10 hour shifts), with 1 in 4 Saturdays (lieu day is given during the week). There's no out of hours or on call required

Join our team with a focus on professional development!

We welcome nurses who wish to study towards qualifications such as advanced diplomas or certificates. Our team of experienced friendly RVN's are happy to support newly qualified nurses and share their wealth of knowledge with new employees.

Here's what the team have to say about life in practice

"I have been qualified as an RVN for a year now and I do believe it is a great place to work. We have fun with what we do, I enjoy the busy atmosphere and can always count on my colleagues to pick me up when I'm having a down day. I get to be involved in clinics, in-patient care, surgeries, diagnostics and so much more, it's an amazing learning experience and no two days are the same. I also feel lucky to not work out of hour duties and only one in four Saturdays." - Larissa, RVN.

Our practice

The group have five well-equipped branch surgeries which are supported by a fantastic Tier 3 Hospital. No two days are the same for an RVN at Kingston Vets. Our RVN's run clinics every day of the week for second adult vaccinations, flea and worming, nail clipping, puppy and kitten chats and many more. We have a designated dental surgery branch which allows some of our nursing team to monitor these complex anaesthetics and ensure dental records are completed. Four of our branch surgeries carry out routine surgery and our RVN's ensure these days run smoothly and keep our patients well cared for. If theatre is your passion then our Park Street hospital is the place for you with a wide range of referral cases. This is a great opportunity to develop your nursing skill set.
