Vets4Pets Brighouse is a busy, growing practice that has been opened since late 2016.

Caroline has a certificate in surgery and performs several advanced procedures – soft tissue and orthopaedics. She has also just completed a certificate in ophthalmology. We also investigate and treat the majority of our medical cases in-house to give our patients the very best level of care. This is what makes us unique – we provide a personal service to our clients as we are a small, close-knit team, but we can offer advanced procedures that many other small practices cannot.

What do we want from you?

  • This is a full time role, 40 hours a week, same day off every week, with a Saturday rota of 1 in 3
  • You will need to be dynamic and proactive with good skills in all aspects of the nursing role, including communicating effectively with clients, carrying out nurse consults, monitoring anaesthetics for a variety of procedures, inpatient care etc
