The Dick Vet Equine Hospital, R(D)SVS is looking for a committed and reliable Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) with experience in equine nursing, a strong work ethic, and the ability to work as part of a dedicated team across our equine Medicine, Orthopaedic and Soft Tissue Services. 

The post holder will join an expanding team of 10 friendly nurses, with responsibilities including theatre nursing for both standing and surgeries performed under general anaesthesia, support in lameness investigations, advanced diagnostic imaging and stock control. The post-holder will work independently to organise and prioritise daily/weekly workload and will contribute to teaching our undergraduate veterinary students. Out of hours working may be required. RVN is essential but not necessarily in equine, we require a competent horse handler, along with excellent nursing and interpersonal skills. 

The Opportunity:

Our highly-skilled team provide nursing support for a wide and varied caseload, with advanced equipment ranging from a 3T MRI to the latest and most advanced cardiac ultrasound machines. The post holder will be part of a multidisciplinary hospital team supporting the clinical, teaching and research activities within the hospital. 

The hospital is located on the beautiful Easter Bush Campus, sitting at the foot of the iconic Pentland Hills, and only a ten minute commute from Edinburgh city centre. Edinburgh is consistently voted one of the most beautiful cities in the world to live and visit, with amenities to suit all interests. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in a world class equine hospital within our outstanding veterinary medicine and biomedical campus.  

Your skills and attributes for success: 

  • Registered Veterinary Nurse
  • Confident horse handler
  • Prior experience in equine practice desirable
  • Excellent communication skills
