Job Description

Are you hard working, enthusiastic, want to have fun and love to work with horses?

We are the first 100% specialist equine dental referral clinic in the UK, with three specialist vets performing advanced dental procedures and surgeries plus three vets performing routine dentistry. We have a large equine clinic based in Wimborne St Giles, Dorset, UK, with three clinical examination rooms and a CT unit. We are looking for another veterinary nurse/ technician to join our team to assist our vets in treating horses at our clinic and at other referral clinics all over the UK. We are a hard working team with a good sense of humor and strive to enhance the equine welfare of our patients.

We do not have "Out of Hours'', however along side working in our lovely clinic you will be expected to accompany our vets out on the road to other clinics. These days can be long, you will share the driving but you will receive (generous!) overtime. Some trips may require overnight stays (expenses are covered), usually up to 3 days max although there may be the odd longer trip. These are planned in advanced as much as possible. Weekend inpatient care is covered by the nursing team on a rota. Currently this is one weekend in 4. No pervious veterinary experience is required, however, good horse handling skills and stable management are essential.
