Ready to join a genuinely supportive small animal team where your nursing skills are celebrated and your weekends are protected? Willows Veterinary Centre is looking for an RVN who values work-life balance as much as great patient care.
One Saturday morning per month (9:00am to 3:00pm). No overnight on-call or night shift responsibilities. Emergency patients referred to Westway Veterinary Hospital outside opening hours.
This is a full-time position based across two modern, well-equipped branches in South Shields and Boldon on a rotational basis. You'll work 40 hours per week over four days, with shifts between 8:30am and 7:30pm. The best part: no out-of-hours responsibilities beyond one Saturday morning per month (9:00am to 3:00pm). Part-time applications are also considered for the right candidate.
You'll be joining a collaborative team of four vets and six RVNs who genuinely enjoy working together and support one another every day. The practice recently refurbished its Boldon branch, creating a modern environment where you can deliver outstanding patient care using digital radiography, ultrasonography, dental radiography, laparoscopic surgery, and in-house laboratory facilities. Emergency patients outside opening hours are referred to Westway Veterinary Hospital in Newcastle, keeping the focus on your wellbeing.

The practice provides daytime emergency care and works in partnership with Westway Veterinary Hospital in Newcastle for overnight and emergency cover, allowing the team to maintain a healthy work-life balance while ensuring all patients receive appropriate care around the clock.
