Part Time Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal

We are looking for an experienced, proactive Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our expanding team at our Grove Lodge, Worthing Hospital. We are a large busy hospital, which benefits from enabling our nurses to specialise in areas that they have a keen interest. We see a vast array of cases and refer very few, meaning you will be exposed to a wide variety of procedures and advanced nursing techniques with full support from our team. We believe in investing in our team at Grove Lodge, therefore further certifications are on offer and funded to those who have specific keen interests.
