The current shift pattern is a rotating two-week rota, with one week working 45 hours and the next
week working 35 hours. This allows for every second Monday off. The shift pattern consists of
opening and closing shifts but covering the hours of 8:30am-6pm each day, with an hour’s lunch
break (unpaid). We are flexible with these hours and shift patterns.
The ideal candidate would have previous veterinary practice management experience, and it would
be a bonus if the candidate is a UK RVN.
Annual salary expectations would be £35,000 – £40,000 for FTE.
If using the accommodation £30,000-35,000 for FTE
Accommodation is available. If you wish to have accommodation, then you will be responsible for
being on call 1 week on with 1 week off. Monday-Friday only. On call is checking in-patients at 8pm
and 10pm. It is not common that we have in-patients, however, we can have in-patients admitted up
until 6pm, so you do need to be available on your weeks on. The pet owner is made aware that the
checks are only at 8pm and 10pm. If the vet feels the patient requires hospitalisation at a 24-hour
practice, we will refer the patient before 6pm. 
Accommodation is a large space within the practice, you would have your own bedroom, lounge
room, bathroom, and kitchen to yourself. In your kitchen you have a washing machine and dryer
that you would share with the other nurse who lives in a studio apartment above your
accommodation. All bills including council tax are paid.
You would be entitled to 20 days annual leave, plus bank holidays (pro rata) and CPD allowance.
It would be great if you were part of the weekend rota doing one Saturday a month 9am-1:30pm,
but this is not essential. This shift can be taken as extra pay or time in lieu.
Job role would consist of:
? Arrange regular visits and maintain contact with industry company representatives
? Rota management for nurses and vet
? Arrange monthly staff meetings and 1 to 1s
? Stock control
? Create and post social media content
? Account management for client account
? Health and safety
? Staff education
? Lead and support veterinary staff on a day-to-day basis
? Customer service and other reception duties
? Surgery, medical and kennel nursing duties (if RVN qualified)
Added bonus for the candidate to have but these are not essential:
? Appointed person for emergency first aid in the workplace

? Qualified as a Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS)
? Current clinical coach
? Experience in pet travel requirements
About us
We are a small animal, independent practice in SW London. We are a hard-working and friendly
team consisting of three vets and two RVNs (you would make it three RVNs), one SQP and three
VCAs nurse/support staff. Fully equipped practice with-in house MiLab blood machines, IV fluid
pumps, digital radiographs, dental radiographs, and ultrasound. We do see some exotics (rabbits,
guinea pigs, rats, ferrets) but experience in this area is not essential.
Our usual day
One vet consults all day, and a second vet does a mixture of consults and surgery. We have three to
four procedures/surgeries booked each day. Two RVNs look after the surgery and medical patients,
one support staff member is on reception and one in the office answering phone calls/dealing with
emails. You would be the fifth staff member doing your duties and floating into other roles when
needed.
If you are super organised and looking for a new challenge, we would love to hear from you.
