Locum Veterinary Nurse ASAP Ongoing East Sussex

Locum Registered Veterinary Nurse – Long-Term – East Sussex

We are recruiting for a Locum Registered Veterinary Nurse to provide regular long-term cover at a brand-new independent small animal practice in East Sussex.

The practice requires support on Tuesdays and Fridays, together with a 1 in 3 Saturday morning rota, while they recruit an additional permanent member of the nursing team.

This is a great opportunity for an RVN looking for a consistent long-term booking, working within a modern purpose-built practice with no OOH or on-call.

Start: ASAP
Duration: Long-term / ongoing
Days: Tuesdays & Fridays
Weekday shifts: 8:30am–5:00pm or 10:30am–7:00pm

The Practice

This is a newly established, purpose-built small animal practice forming part of an experienced independent veterinary group.

The practice offers an excellent modern clinical environment with facilities including:

• Digital radiography
• Ultrasonography
• Integrated in-house laboratory
• Dedicated surgical theatre
• Modern consulting rooms
• Purpose-built inpatient facilities
• Facilities supporting visiting specialist surgeons

The veterinary team is currently supported by part-time locum Veterinary Surgeons while the practice continues to recruit its permanent clinical team.

The Role

This is a varied first-opinion nursing position with the opportunity to utilise a broad range of clinical skills.

Depending on the caseload, duties can include:

• Theatre nursing and surgical assistance
• Anaesthetic monitoring
• Inpatient and patient care
• Diagnostic imaging support
• Laboratory work
• Nurse consultations
• Preventative healthcare
• Client education and support

As a relatively new practice, you'll also have the opportunity to become an important part of the developing clinical team as the practice continues to establish and grow its client base.

The Nurse

We're looking for a confident Registered Veterinary Nurse who can provide reliable ongoing cover on Tuesdays and Fridays and participate in the 1 in 3 Saturday morning rota.

You'll need to be comfortable with general first-opinion nursing duties, work well alongside vets and the wider support team and provide a high standard of patient and client care.

With just two regular weekdays, short Saturday mornings and no OOH or on-call, this could work particularly well for an RVN looking to add a consistent long-term booking to their locum schedule.
