Vets Now Hospital in Greater Manchester
Vets Now is the UK’s leading provider of emergency pet care, serving over 1700 veterinary practices through 60 plus dedicated out-of-hours clinics and two 24/7 pet emergency hospitals. The Vets Now Hospital in Greater Manchester provides both a first-class referral service and an out of hours emergency service for veterinary practices in and around Manchester.
Understanding your key role
The role of an anaesthesia and surgical RVN involves monitoring anaesthesia for a wide range of interesting and challenging cases, including orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery, across both referral and emergency settings. The role presents an ideal opportunity to work within a strong theatre team, alongside Diplomats, Advanced Practitioners, and highly skilled RVN’s.
To be successful in the role you should have strong anaesthesia skills and confidence in patient monitoring, as well as a commitment to maintaining high clinical standards, and a passion for surgical nursing and pain management.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
