Job Description - Lead Veterinary Nurse


Are you a passionate and experienced RVN ready to take the lead? Join our dedicated team at our well-established hospital in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. This is a fantastic opportunity to guide and inspire our talented nursing team while working in a supportive environment.



About Us:



Our 24/7 hospital provides comprehensive care for our patients day and night. During evenings and weekends, we switch to an advanced A+E service, ensuring round-the-clock support for urgent cases. Additionally, we offer an advanced referral service, enabling our team to handle a diverse range of cases daily.



At Animal Trust, you'll find a supportive and inclusive culture that values each individual's contribution. We operate without hierarchy, fostering an environment where every team member contributes to our shared commitment to clinical excellence.


 


About animal Trust


Animal Trust stands out from other veterinary services. Firstly, we are a unique Community Interest Company, being the only veterinary CIC in the UK to date. Our primary focus isn't solely on maximising profits; instead, we are dedicated to delivering on our mission and ensuring enough profit to sustain our business in the long term.



Our vision is clear: No pet should go untreated or face euthanasia when there is a viable treatment option. We firmly believe that pet ownership should be accessible to all, acknowledging that individuals earning the Real Living Wage may encounter challenges in affording veterinary care when their pet falls ill. In response, we aim to assist. Our free consultations and transparent pricing enable our vets and nurses to break down the barriers that stand in the way of pets receiving the treatment they need.

  • Able to carry out all aspects of nursing.

  • Actively encourage staff development, mentoring and best practice.

  • Oversee stock management within the clinic. 

  • Carry out regular staff meetings.  

  • Have good commercial awareness with a tenacity to grow caseload, allowing more pets to access great, but affordable healthcare.
