Lead Registered Veterinary Nurse (OOH)

Are you an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) looking to elevate your career in a dynamic and supportive environment? This role offers the perfect blend of clinical practice and leadership, allowing you to make a significant impact on both patient care and team development.

Why This Role Stands Out:

Professional Growth: Join a practice that prioritises your career progression through a structured Nursing Career Framework. Whether you aim to specialise clinically or advance in leadership, your ambitions will be supported with tailored pathways.
Valued Input: Work in a collaborative environment where your expertise is not just appreciated but essential. Your insights and contributions will play a crucial role in patient recovery and rehabilitation.
Team Support: Be part of a cohesive team of 15 Vets, including specialists with postgraduate certificates in Surgery, Medicine, and ECC. Your role will be integral to maintaining high clinical standards and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Comprehensive Training: Benefit from ongoing professional development, including CPD and advanced qualifications. If you lack coaching experience, rest assured that training and encouragement will be provided to help you excel as a mentor and leader.

Role Overview:

As the Lead Nurse for the Out of Hours team, you will collaborate closely with the Clinical Nursing Manager to uphold and enhance clinical standards. Your responsibilities will include:

- Leading and managing the Out of Hours nursing team, ensuring high standards of patient care.
- Providing clinical support across the entire practice, balancing approximately 95% clinical duties with 5% administrative tasks.
- Overseeing the induction and ongoing development of new team members, offering feedback, coaching, and mentoring.
- Ensuring effective communication with other Lead Nurses and the Clinical Nursing Manager to support the practice's growth and profitability.

Skills and Experience:

- Registered Veterinary Nurse with experience in nursing and/or leadership.
- Strong clinical skills and a commitment to maintaining high standards of patient care.
- Excellent communication and leadership abilities.
- A Clinical Coach/Supervisor qualification is advantageous but not essential, as training will be provided.

Join a Practice That Invests in You:

This role is more than just a job; it's a chance to be part of a practice that values its nursing team as key contributors to its success. With a competitive salary reflecting your skills and experience, and a commitment to your professional development, this position offers a fulfilling and rewarding career path.
