About Us
We are a really friendly team of 4 Vets, 6 Nurses, 2 Receptionists and a Practice Manager. We have 2 surgeries, both with lovely clients. Our Shenley surgery is in the middle of a beautiful park, with an apple orchard opposite. Edgware is more urban; both have plenty of parking. We really value our nursing staff and encourage special interests, - nurses have their own consulting room at Shenley, plus a lovely ‘quiet room’ for delicate situations.
Applicant Requirements
We are looking for an RVN, but no further experience required. We need a team player - we have a very low staff turnover and most of our staff have been with us for years. We're a very sociable bunch and need someone who will enjoy being part of our friendly team. New ideas are always listened to, and we would love someone who would enjoy helping with nurse clinics.
