Registered Veterinary Nurse at Fenton Vets, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire

We are looking for an RVN to add to our current team of 10 nurses who provide a wide range of nursing services to a modern, busy small animal department.

The role includes :

• Consultations
• Inpatient care
• Animal handling
• Sample collection
• Anaesthetic monitoring
• Lab work

You may work up to 37.5hrs / week, and all nurses contribute equally to the on-call rota supporting the team of 11 SA vets.

Our opening hours are 8 : 00am - 6 : 30pm Monday – Thursday, 8 : 00am – 5 : 30pm Friday, and 8 : 00am – 1 : 00pm Saturday. Between 10 : 00pm and 8 : 00am each night, calls are diverted to MiNightVet, so it is extremely unusual for your on-call work to fall within these hours.

Our annual salary scale starts at £24,850 for a newly qualified RVN, plus pension, CPD, etc.

About the work and our facilities

We aim for excellent customer service and practice to a high clinical standard, investing in staff, facilities, and equipment to meet evolving targets.

We have a truly mixed clientele and a rewarding and varied caseload. Being the vet for our local charity brings its own variety of work and significant neutering volume.

We are a nurse training practice and aim to achieve hospital level standards at our main site in Haverfordwest, with Tier 2 status at the Pembroke Dock branch. We have achieved ISFM cat-friendly status : gold in Haverfordwest and bronze in Pembroke Dock.

Haverfordwest has four consulting rooms, a dedicated cat room, a quiet room, separate dog, cat, and isolation wards, a central prep room leading to two sterile theatres, a separate dedicated dental room, and a separate X-ray suite. Our lab room is equipped with the latest kit for haematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis from IDEXX, as well as digital X-ray, digital dental X-ray, gastroscope, 4mm bronchoscopy / rhinoscope, ultrasound with colour doppler, ECG, MMP TTA, etc.

The Pembroke Dock branch has three consulting rooms, a prep area with recovery kennels, a theatre, and a main inpatient ward.
