At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

We are seeking a professional, dedicated Multidisciplinary Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Moorview Referrals on a full-time basis. 

Moorview Referrals is a busy, purpose-built referral hospital located in beautiful Northumberland, within easy reach of the stunning coastline and the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Our modern facility is equipped to the highest standards, including four operating theatres (one with fluoroscopy), CT and MRI scanners, multiple ultrasound machines, and advanced endoscopy equipment.

We are a large, supportive clinical team with expertise in many different areas, working together to deliver exceptional patient care across a wide range of disciplines. We offer referral services in orthopaedics, soft tissue surgery, neurology, internal medicine, ECC, and cardiology, providing a varied and rewarding caseload. As an ISFM Gold Standard practice working towards zero pain certification, we are committed to continually raising standards in patient care.

This role will be mainly rotating through the surgical department including orthopaedics, soft tissue and neurology, and the kennel department, but may also include ECC and Medicine shifts as needed.

 

 

 

As a Multidisciplinary Veterinary Nurse, you will be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering high-quality nursing care to patients while supporting excellent client experiences. 

 

You’ll deliver advanced nursing care to complex cases within a referral hospital environment, supporting patients, clients, and clinical teams across a range of disciplines. You’ll work as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to high standards of nursing care, supporting clinical decision-making, and sharing your experience and knowledge with colleagues to continually improve patient outcomes and service delivery.

You’ll work a flexible rota covering 40 hours between 8 am and 8 pm, with a choice of either 5 x 8-hour shifts or 4 x 10-hour shifts to suit your lifestyle. You’ll also join a 1:5 weekend rota (two 12-hour shifts with TOIL), and take part in our bank holiday and Christmas cover, with occasional support across other departments when needed.
