We have a position for a part time registered veterinary nurse available at Mayne Vets! Does working part time work fit into your schedule? Are you looking to work at an independent veterinary clinic, who prioritises environmental sustainability and team wellbeing? Are you looking to work for a clinic that values their nurses and utilises their skills and abilities?
Being a 50 minute train ride from London and Stanstead airport and based on the North Essex/Suffolk border, we are surrounded by beautiful countryside and awesome beaches with plenty of travel opportunities and day trips.
However, what really sets out practice aside is the way our team have such a strong influence over how it is run. The best ideas come from the team themselves, so we have well established systems in place for quickly bringing ideas generated into fruition. Our team have freedom to grow their individual roles and the practice in a way that improves their enjoyment of the job. A couple of our nurses have implemented confidence clinics, which we are well known for in the Colchester area. One of our nurses has the driving force, alongside our practice manager, towards our green accreditation and environmental projects. We are keen to support and assist individuals in the development of their nursing roles and career. We have weekly nurse meetings for clinical case discussions, team projects and establishing new ideas and improvements.
A result of team led initiatives in reducing our environmental impact we obtained ‘Green Status‘ from Investors in the Environment, were awarded “Green (small) Practice of the Year Award” in 2024 and the “Champions of Health and Wellness” at The Vet Dynamics Awards in 2022 .
The Role
We are looking for a nurse to work 2-3 days a week (working 7-7.5 hour days) with 1 in 4 Saturdays. Our opening hours are from 8:30am – 6:30pm Monday to Friday and 8:30am – 12:00pm on Saturdays, with OOH veterinary care being provided by Vets Now and the option of Vidivet for veterinary advice to our clients.
We have a high vet to nurse ratio, with 7 RVNS and 1 SVN at the clinic, our nurse consultation length is 20 minutes running clinics from nail clipping and anal gland emptying, to confidence, mobility and dental clinics. Nursing shifts are created in a way that allow for variety, covering theatre and anaesthesia, in patient care, consulting and admin work.
