Larwood & Kennedy SA (Dereham)

.

We have an opportunity for an Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team here at Larwood and Kennedy. This is a 12-18 months fixed term Maternity cover role.

Our people are our greatest source of pride. We've worked hard over the years to build a strong, stable and respectful team. As a result, we love coming to work and see each other not just as colleagues, but as friends too. Our management team alone has a combined long service of over 40 years within CVS! Our last Vet and Nurse to leave were for promotions within the Group to management positons. As a team we: lunch and learn, have trips out eg to Segway and escape rooms, and often have social meets/BBQ/meals out because we are so much more than just colleagues at work!

Our Nursing team are incredibly well supported and we are encouraged to pursue our own areas of interest and develop our skills across all aspects of veterinary nursing. Progression is important to us within our clinics, so if you have an idea of where you see your career going please let us know and we can put a plan in place to help you achieve this!

This is a full time role working 40 hours per week with a mix of early and late shifts, including participation in the weekend and on call rota.

This is what one of our RVN Holly thinks of working at Larwood & Kennedy:

“I've been part of the team at Larwood and Kennedy for just over 7 years now, from before I started my training all the way through to the post-qualification RVN days and all the bits in between. Throughout the change and adversity we've faced as both a practice and an industry over the last few years, one thing has remained the same for me- the support and respect offered and felt within the team. It genuinely feels like my colleagues are members of an extended family, there is solidarity between everyone in trickier times, a lot of laughs and always someone you can go to for advice or guidance. We are always striving to improve, whether it be our standards, our knowledge, the services we offer or just general “in practice” day to day things, we're always aiming to be better than we were the day before. There is also so much scope and support for bettering ourselves personally, if we have an area of interest or a desire to pursue knowledge or complete further qualifications then we are always supported to achieve this wherever possible, with help from members of CVS outside of our practice if needs be where there is a wealth of knowledge available to draw upon! But it is the team as a whole that makes Larwood and Kennedy the place it is, everyone has their own personalities and strengths and everyone contributes something unique which makes it a genuinely lovely place to be and I'm very happy that this is the place I came to back at the start when my vet nurse journey began- I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.”

We know that benefits are key, and that your personal benefits priorities will differ from others. Holidays, pensions, discounts, paternal leave, fee payments or share save schemes might be your priority. Flexible working is essential for others, and we are very open to finding a creative working pattern that suits. For clinical staff, CPD is probably critical. Just so you know we offer a wide range of amazing CPD – you'll have access to Knowledge Hub, the best online veterinary learning resource within the industry - and we also offer an allowance to spend on external courses too. If you'd like to learn more, do feel free to contact the recruiter managing this campaign and ask them to talk you through our offerings. Or, if easier, you can find a list on our careers site CVS Employee Benefits- what we can offer you. (cvsukltd.co.uk)
