Weekday RVN

Are you interested in referral nursing? Do you want to be part of a recently established, independent specialist referral centre in orthopaedics and neurology? Do you enjoy working in a small, friendly and fun team?

Hamilton Specialist Referrals (HSR) is a state-of-the-art, independent specialist veterinary referral hospital based near the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border. Originally orthopaedic- and neurology-based, we now also offer services in soft tissue surgery, internal medicine, radiology and cardiology. All specialists are either European boarded or board-eligible, and all services are supported by two European boarded anaesthetists. We have an ECVN recognised residency programme in place and are in the process of gaining approval for an ECVS training programme. HSR offers the most cutting-edge investigations and treatments, with both a 1.5 Tesla MRI and a CT-scanner on site; and all disciplines work closely with the in-house professional physiotherapy department.

HSR is a growing hospital and currently employs over 80 team members, including veterinary surgeons, RVNs, physiotherapists, hydrotherapists, nurse auxiliaries, client care, clinical administrators and operational support staff. As part of our structured growth plan we are now seeking an experienced RVN to join our friendly and supportive team.

If you are a team player wanting to make a difference, looking to work in a fun and nurturing environment with great training, development opportunities and a strong focus on employee well-being then we want to hear from you. We are looking for a proactive, enthusiastic and approachable person who is a great team player but is also able to use their own initiative and self-motivate. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to multi-task with a flexible approach to working are a must.

For the right people, we provide:

• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
