Your schedule will include rotational Saturday cover at the branch plus occasional shifts at Stone Lion Hospital in Wimbledon (1:4 branch Saturday and 1:10 Saturday rotation). You'll receive dedicated induction support, including a full day at the hospital before your first shift, so you're never thrown in at the deep end.
You'll be part of a busy, growing practice with excellent backup support from a Senior RVN, experienced RVNs, and trainee nurses.

Progression matters here. The practice actively encourages career development and now offers leadership training for colleagues interested in exploring senior roles within the Goddard group.
