We are seeking an experienced, team-oriented Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Wigmore Vets on a full-time basis.
Wigmore Vets is located in a lovely residential area in Wigmore, Rainham, Kent. We are well established in the area and have a large, loyal client base to prove it. The practice is very busy, with something to keep you on your toes every day.
Due to the practice's busy nature, we also offer excellent clinical exposure. The surgery is well-equipped, including an in-house blood machine and digital X-ray machines. Here at Wigmore, we truly value our staff. We are open to support and will always encourage further development of all our staff.
We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service, 100% dedication and care for our clients. We value our staff and understand the importance of a good work/life balance, and we offer a warm and welcoming working environment for all. With close links to London and near the interesting coast of Kent, our location is diverse.
Our amazing team of 2 Vets, 11 RVNs, 1 Kennel Assistant and 5 Receptionists are the foundation of our practice. Some of our people have been here for 15-20 years, so this is an opportunity to embed in a close-knit, family-feel team. Our Nursing and support team are extremely knowledgeable and highly trained to assist the vets in many ways, which makes working at Wigmore a true pleasure.
We recognise that our team are fundamental to the success of our practice and being able to provide the very best care for our patients. Investing in our team, premises and processes is at the heart of what we do.
