Job Details

About the role

Our roving Veterinary Nurse role involves working across different practices within the White Cross Vets group. The role will be for 37.5 hours per week, either over 5 days or 4 days depending on the needs of the practices. 

Saturdays would not be contracted but will be offered out where needed, for additional pay. Your rota is planned 1 month in advance by our Group CD, or SOS Manager. It is usual that you work for short pre-planned stints at one practice, rather than being called up daily to work at multiple sites. You may, for example be required to cover maternity periods so could be based in one place for longer.  

The Roving Nurse would be expected to cover the Yorkshire area (Middlesbrough, Bradford, Sheffield) and mileage will be paid, so applicants should be based in this area.

About the practice

White Cross Vets were established in West Yorkshire in 1937 and have grown to a group of 22 practices. The group has maintained its warm family-like culture in all this time and has won repeated awards, including SPVS Well-being Award 2017 and 2018 and Sunday Times
Top 100 Company to Work For (6 years running!). We offer an excellent package with the opportunity to enjoy a superb work/life balance.

Applicant Requirements

We are looking for a highly motivated veterinary nurse who can thrive in our high-quality practice. You will relate to our core principles of quality, integrity, responsibility and growth, fitting seamlessly alongside our friendly practice teams as you work with team to provide a quality experience for pet owner and pets alike. You will be RCVS registered with several years post qualification experience working in UK Small Animal practice, with strong communication skills, the ability to work well in a team and a passion to deliver great clinical quality and fantastic client service. A full, clean driving licence is essential for this role.
