This is a full-time night nursing position at Dick White Referrals, one of Europe's largest specialist multi-disciplinary veterinary referral centres. You'll work 12-hour shifts from 18:30 to 06:30 on a 4 on 5 off rotating pattern, which equates to 37.5 hours per week and delivers genuine time off to maintain work-life balance.
As a Night Nurse, you'll care for canine and feline patients across all disciplines in the facility's purpose-built clinic, including the ICU. You'll be allocated to a specific ward for the duration of your shift rotation, allowing you to build continuity of care and recognise patient condition changes. You'll also be involved in the triage and care of emergencies admitted out of hours. Working alongside nurses, nursing assistants, interns, and with a specialist from each department on call, no two nights are the same, making the role both interesting and challenging.
