The role
This is a new position, created to bridge our day and our evening. You would be the continuity between the day team and our overnight nurse: Theatre prep, Anaesthesia and Recovery, MRI and CT, and caring for our post-operative orthopaedic and neurology inpatients.
Hours
Full-time, four 10-hour shifts a week, with Monday as a set day off and no weekend and Bank Holidays. Rather than a straight day or a straight evening, this is a single shift that starts later in the morning and runs through into the evening, covering our busiest hours and handing over to our overnight nurse.
Thursday and Friday will always be the later shift. We have some flexibility on the other two days, so if an earlier start would suit you better, that's something we can talk about.
You
Dogwood Referrals continues to grow, and we're now looking for an additional RVN to grow with us. Referring vets across the North West continue to trust us with some of the most complex orthopaedic and neurological cases in the region, and our nursing team is expanding to match.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
