YourVets (Sheldon)

Have you got a drive for consulting?

Would you love to work within a team that is as passionate about animal care as you are?

How does a salary of up to £28K pro rata sound?

We have a great opportunity for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team here at YourVets Sheldon as our second consulting nurse to support and collaborate with our current consulting nurse.

You will be jointly responsible for the design, launch and application of veterinary nurse consultations and clinics. We are looking to expand our nurse clinics to support our clients and their pets so this is a great challenge for the right candidate.

You will join our team of 8 vets, 10 RVN's (8 PT), 4 SVN's, 4 Patient Care Assistants and 6 receptionists giving you great support. This is a part time role (hours are negotiable) with mix of early and late shifts, including participation in the Saturday rota 1:4.

Benefits

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 at on our careers site CVS Employee Benefits- what we can offer you. (cvsukltd.co.uk)

So, if you're looking for a position that will allow you to do what you do best, and a team that will support you and each other, please get in touch with us!

Make a Difference at Anne Arundel Veterinary Emergency Clinic

Join Us In Beautiful Annapolis

Nestled deep in the beautiful bay area 5 minutes from downtown Annapolis is our new state-of-the-art referral center open 24 hours and 375 days a year. We have 24+ Veterinarians, 60+ Technicians, 15+ Assistants and 10+ Client Service Representatives. We work side-by-side with different specialty departments and care for their patients overnight. Technicians will gain experience working with neurology, surgery, internal medicine, oncology, cardiology, rehabilitation and ophthalmology cases. It is a great field to develop your skills and there is always something new and exciting to learn in our spacious conference room where we host continuing education for veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

We are currently hiring for the following shifts. You would only be expected to fill one of these shifts, not rotate between the times.

Noon - 10pm

Diverse & Inclusive Team Dynamic

Besides patient care, there is nothing more important to use than to be a welcoming and supportive hospital. We value our staff for everything that they are and the cultures that made them. AAVEC prides itself on being active in the community that we serve by volunteering with multiple organizations, providing pet CPR training for local referring veterinarians and fire stations, sponsoring Annapolis PRIDE annually, and paying for our technicians to become registered. We invest in our teams because we know we could not do this without them. They mean everything to us, and because of that, throughout the year we make sure they know it by:

• Throwing Quarterly Parties & Team Building Activities (Staff Olympics, Pumpkin Decorating Contests, Secret Santa, etc.)
• Celebrating Milestones & Achievements (Graduations, Baby Showers, Bridal Showers, Birthdays & Anniversaries, etc.)
• Decorating the Hospital Throughout the Year (Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, etc.)
• Donating to important causes on behalf of the staff (SPCA, Breast Cancer Awareness, Suicide Awareness, etc.)

Time Off

At AAVEC we believe in plenty of sleep and healthy lifestyles which means that we do not require our technicians to work every shift at different times throughout the month. The shift you are hired for is the shift time you will work every shift. This will help your life have some normalcy and consistency. We also believe in LOTS of vacations and spending quality time with your loved ones. Our rotation schedule was created by our veterinary technicians with the intent that it would allow them to take multiple vacations a year with using very little of their paid time off and would keep them from having to work every weekend. Every other week you will have 4 days off in a row over the weekend. With only using 1 day of your PTO you are able to take 7 days off in a row multiple times a year. Your schedule is also tentatively made for the entire year so you can make plans long in advance and also have a part time hobby or job if you so choose.

What You'll Get to Do

As a triage veterinary technician you will commonly:

• Assess patients upon arrival and prioritize them based on their health status after obtaining vitals
• Initiate stabilization treatments such as oxygen therapy
• Participate in the development and implementation of treatment plans created by the veterinarians
  
• Discharge hospitalized cases

Are You Ready for AAVEC?

• Do you have a minimum of 1 year of experience as a veterinary assistant or veterinary technician?
