Wood Veterinary Group have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, motivated Night Nurse to join our progressive and dedicated OOH team on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds, with good motorway access to the South-West, London & the North.
The role is based within our RCVS Accredited Small Animal Hospital and Emergency Services Clinic in Gloucester. We offer a challenging and varied caseload, supporting numerous other practices in the county, as well as our own clients. You will be part of a team of 6 dedicated night nurses working alongside 1 night vet and 1 night nurse each night, supported by a large team of small animal day vets, nurses and kennel assistants, many of whom hold post qualification certificates. Our in-house Laboratory with dedicated technicians provides advanced diagnostics.
Our nurses enjoy a great work-life balance, enabling them to explore everything the locality has to offer in their downtime. With the historic attraction of Gloucester Cathedral and breath-taking countryside right on your doorstep, this location is perfect for nature-lovers.

You will be conscientious, hardworking, have a passion for providing a high standard of veterinary care, and be confident in all aspects of emergency and critical care nursing. You will work a varied caseload where schedule 3 is actively encouraged, and additional training/ qualifications are supported.
