Are you keen to expand and develop your veterinary nursing skills in a fast‑paced and dynamic environment? If so, we have an exciting opportunity to join our Veterinary Theatre Nursing Team at the Queens Veterinary School Hospital, an integral part of the Department of Veterinary Medicine, and an RCVS accredited teaching Hospital that provides veterinary care 24/7 365 days a year.
We are seeking individuals with a passion for nursing and the ability to communicate with all levels of staff, students and clients for this varied and interesting position. The role is offered on a full‑time basis, but we also welcome applications from candidates seeking part‑time work (minimum 4 days per week).
Working as part of a multi‑skilled team of veterinary clinicians and nurses, the Specialist Nurse Anaesthesia and Theatre role is essential in supporting our specialist veterinary teams to deliver outstanding patient care and manage workflow throughout the hospital. You will work in surgical theatres, medicine procedure rooms and maintenance and monitoring of patients under general anaesthesia or sedation while performing procedures, including diagnostic imaging. You will assist specialist nurses with the care of their patients and teams and, if necessary, support ward teams – for example, to monitor an intensive recovery or provide one‑to‑one patient care.
The referral hospital is a very fast‑paced environment that requires the role holder to be adaptable, work on their own initiative with minimal supervision, and work well under pressure.
