Linnaeus Lead Veterinary Nurse - Clinical Quality in Huntingdon, United Kingdom
Cromwell Vets has a long-established reputation for providing the highest standard of care for pets alongside compassion for their owners. We enjoy many partnerships with charities and are active in the community often spending the summer at local events and dog shows. We value professionalism and friendliness which means we have loyal customers and high staff retention. We value all our Associates and hold regular team events including BBQs, pumpkin carving competitions and bake offs.
With our six unique sites spanning the Huntingdon area, we are fortunate to be able to offer a varied caseload where nurses can fully utilise their skills alongside our vet team, many of whom hold certificates. Although some of our branches are smaller in scale to our main hospital site we pride ourselves in the continuity of care whatever door you walk through.
A Cromwell nursing role includes a wide breadth of nursing duties, incorporating the management of complex medical and surgical patients, consulting, assisting with the provision of anaesthesia and schedule III procedures, as well as supporting the patient journey from admission to discharge. Our veterinary surgeons appreciate and respect the nursing team, valuing their professionalism and input creating a working environment where everyone can thrive.
The Lead Nurse Quality role will remain primarily clinical and includes a wide breadth of nursing duties alongside protected non-clinical time to work on project involvement with RCVS PSS, significant event reporting system, updating and reviewing SOPs, and championing dog and cat friendly schemes. We are looking for someone who has attention to detail and good time management and shows willingness to support across all sites.
Your leadership responsibilities will include providing line management and training to team members, conducting performance reviews, SOP development and coordination for all relevant personnel working within your team.
