Interesting in joining our team? See below for current vacancies

Would you like to join our nursing team here at Millennium? We are looking for a registered veterinary nurse to cover a maternity absence, starting in April.  This is to join our team of 14 registered nurses, student nurses and ward assistants. We pride ourselves as being a friendly, supportive, approachable and very caring team and invite RVNs of all abilities to apply.

Established in 1966, we are a fully equipped first opinion and referral independent practice with 10 veterinary surgeons and a large support team. We are internally supported by Mental Health First Aiders and HR reps for our different staff groups.   Our nurses are heavily involved in all areas of the practice: from our wards and theatres to nurse consulting and diagnostic work. Our referral work covers dermatology, oncology, orthopaedics, and soft tissue. Our CT scanner, electrochemotherapy and companion regenerative therapy are just some of the additional services MVP offers.

We encourage our RVNs to explore and develop their areas of interest and fund CPD. At present our RVN team have further qualifications in ECC, feline nursing, nutrition, behaviour and exotics. We are also a VN Training Practice and have a team of clinical supervisors supporting our Diploma and Degree placement students.

Veterinary Nursing Position
This is a full-time position (37.5hrs over 4 or 5 days), but will consider part time workers.  The position includes 1:11 weekends (lunch provided!) with paid over time and the Monday off after your weekend. Only 1 bank holiday cover every 2 years (yes, 2 years!).   Depending on the experience of the candidate full time hours can be worked as a 4 day week. A competitive annual salary is dependent on experience, between £27,000-£30,000.  Annual RCVS registration fees, BVNA membership fees, Company pension scheme and staff discount are in addition to this.  This is a staff-dog-friendly practice with onsite parking.

What’s more we are in Braintree, Essex!
The practice itself is less than ½ mile from Freeport Outlet Shopping Village, Braintree Retail Park and Braintree Fitness and Swimming Centre.  We have very easy access to the surrounding area being on the Norwich to London Liverpool Trainline, with 2 train stations in Braintree. Braintree is equally placed between the cities of Colchester and Chelmsford, both ½ an hour away. The A12 and A120 are on our door step and within easy reach of the M11 and M25. Stansted Airport is only 20 minutes away.  We are close to the Chelmsford City Racecourse and Hylands (which means festivals galore including the V-Festival and Clockstock!) and if you are a cricket fan then Chelmsford is the home of the Essex County Cricket Club. We’re also lucky enough to have good primary and secondary schools, local colleges, Anglia Ruskin University including Writtle College and both Chelmsford and Colchester Universities close by.
