Are you a dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse looking for a role where you can truly make a real difference?
At Woodgreen, we’re committed to ensuring that every pet has the opportunity to enjoy a healthy, happy home, whilst providing owners with the support they need along the way. We’re looking for a compassionate and skilled RVN to join our team on a 9-month fixed-term contract to cover a period of maternity leave. Working 30 hours per week across four days, you’ll become part of a supportive team that values your wellbeing just as highly as your clinical expertise, giving you the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of pets and their owners every day.
Working at Woodgreen is vet nursing at its most rewarding. You are an essential part of a pet’s journey from a vulnerable stray or relinquishment to a happy life in a forever home and based in our busy on-site clinic, you’ll be the advocate for the dogs, cats, and small pets that need us the most. From complex medical cases to surgical support and preventative care, you’ll use your full range of nursing skills to give these animals the second chance they deserve. It’s challenging, emotional, and incredibly fulfilling work that goes right to the heart of why we join this profession.
Reasons to use Rodeo
