Registered Veterinary Nurse

Job Description

Are you looking for a supportive team, career development, and a great work-life balance? They are looking for an enthusiastic RVN to join their award-winning team. Their experienced team of vets, RVNs, ACAs, and receptionists was delighted to be named ‘Veterinary Practice of the Year 2024’ at the Local Pet Awards Ireland, a true testament to their dedication to providing excellent care.

About Them

It all started back in 1980 when their founding vet purchased the practice. Following in their footsteps, the next generation continued the legacy, and over time, their family practice has grown to include multiple state-of-the-art clinics with an exceptional team. Despite their growth, one thing has always remained the same: their belief that if they want the best care for their patients, they must provide the best care for their team.

Their mission is to make lives better through excellence in veterinary care. They are committed to continually improving their services through innovation, utilising the latest monitoring and diagnostic technology, and fostering a supportive work environment where their team can thrive both personally and professionally.

They offer certificate-led internal referral services, with highly skilled vets and nurses specialising in various fields, including exotics, orthopaedics, cardiology, dentistry, oncology, medicine, advanced soft tissue surgery, and endoscopy, with dermatology services launching soon.

The Future

They were pioneers in introducing dental X-rays as a standard practice. They continue leading the way with exciting advancements, including launching laparoscopy services, new CT machines, and opening their first diplomate-led tertiary referral hospital. Additionally, they are expanding nationwide, with new clinics joining their growing network. They also have dedicated cat-only clinics, complemented by others that have achieved ISFM Cat-Friendly status, with more certifications planned.
