About this role

Are you a dedicated and compassionate surgical veterinary nurse looking to advance your skills?


Veterinary Referral Services (VRS) is a Best Practice-accredited clinic providing complex diagnostic and surgical care for a range of referral cases from primary veterinary caregivers. We have a new, purpose-built facility with all the expected monitoring, diagnostic and surgical equipment.


About the Job

We are looking for a friendly, dedicated senior surgical nurse to work alongside our team of highly skilled professionals. Your responsibilities will include:


  • Assisting with surgical procedures and anaesthetic monitoring, ensuring high standards of clinical care
  • Monitoring and caring for hospitalised patients, both pre- and post-surgery
  • Assisting with endoscopy, ultrasound examinations and digital radiography
  • Engaging with pet owners to help manage the needs of their pets
  • Collaborating with the clinical team, and GP clinics to ensure optimal patient outcomes


About you

You’re a Diploma qualified Veterinary Nurse with surgical experience, strong communication skills and the ability to prioritise tasks in a fast-paced environment. While experience in a referral environment would be beneficial, it is not essential.
