The Role

This is a full-time role working 40 hours per week over 4days 8:30am-7:00pm with a share of the Saturday rota 8:30am-12:30pm. Time in lieu is given back for all Saturday hours and there are no out of hours. Each day will include a mixture of surgery and consults, with minimal sole charge.

About Us

Practices that truly look after their team members are hard to come by and that is where White Cross Vets stand out amongst the rest! Our super purpose-built St Helens clinic has four consulting rooms with one used purely by our Veterinary Nurses. The practice has separate cat and dog wards and is fully equipped with operating theatre, digital x-ray, and dental x-ray, full in house IDEXX lab, ultrasound and multi parameter monitoring equipment. The team at St Helens are keen on staff wellbeing and welfare with fortnightly team meetings and a wellbeing meeting every two months. The team enjoy regular group meals out, social gatherings and baking for the practice (Covid19 allowing). We encourage new ideas and openly will ask all team members for their opinions on decision making. We are a training practice for Student Veterinary Nurses and enjoy teaching and helping each other grow. We have ISFM silver award. We like to hold in house CPD as much as we can and get speakers into the practice to give us updates on new products.
