This emergency vet clinic is seeking a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join its dedicated out-of-hours team, providing emergency and critical care services to veterinary practices across the Somerset region.
Based within the RCVS-accredited Veterinary Hospital, they deliver out-of-hours veterinary care during nights, weekends, and bank holidays on behalf of a network of local practices. Situated in the heart of Somerset, close to both the stunning coastline and the rolling Quantock Hills, the clinic offers an excellent opportunity to work in a beautiful part of the country while gaining exposure to a diverse and rewarding caseload. Patients include a wide range of small animal emergencies, alongside exotic and wildlife cases. 
Working closely with an on-site Veterinary Surgeon and a dedicated night RVN responsible for inpatient care and surgical preparation, the successful applicant will be an important part of a collaborative emergency care team. Experienced Animal Care Assistants (ACAs) and Veterinary Care Assistants (VCAs) are also encouraged to apply.
The position offers an average of 19.75 hours per week, with regular shifts on Wednesday and Friday evenings from 7:00pm to 11:30pm, alongside alternate weekend shifts on Saturday and Sunday from 4:00pm to 11:30pm.
The clinic is committed to supporting professional development and actively encourages colleagues to pursue their clinical interests through funded CPD and certificate study. Alongside a strong focus on career progression, the team prides itself on its supportive culture, regular social events, and a welcoming working environment where teamwork and humour are valued.
The successful candidate will play a key role in the smooth running of the emergency service. Responsibilities include managing incoming telephone calls, arranging appointments, and triaging patients on arrival, ensuring the clinical team can focus on inpatient care and consultations. The role also involves assisting and supporting the wider night team as required.
Employees benefit from a comprehensive package designed to support both their professional development and wellbeing. Benefits include 6.6 weeks of holiday including bank holidays (pro rata), paid RCVS and VDS fees, a generous CPD allowance, enhanced maternity, paternity and sick pay, access to a pension scheme, the option to buy and sell annual leave.
