Raystede is a unique and forward-thinking multi-species animal charity that has an exciting opportunity for a new Veterinary Nurse. This role will support Raystede in its aims to give animals a better life through rehoming, rehabilitation and sanctuary, and give people the support and knowledge they need to treat animals with care and respect. With passionate teams, a wide variety of animals, high welfare standards, and a drive to find as many animals as possible new homes, this is a fantastic opportunity not to be missed.

 As a Veterinary Nurse you will be expected to support Raystede’s clinical work in our on-site veterinary surgery and assist with the day to day running of the practice. You will build close working relationships with our expert animal care teams, and also be involved with Raystede more widely as we work to assist as many animals as possible.

 The client base is primarily internal, supporting the animals that we accept for rehoming or that live with us in sanctuary. Most interaction with animals not owned by Raystede will be with animals rehomed by us that need to return for agreed procedures or treatments, as part of our veterinary community days, or on occasions where we agree to provide emergency treatment that cannot be supported elsewhere. You will also be part of supporting animals being cared for on our Break Away scheme where we find temporary foster homes for animals belonging to people fleeing domestic abuse, or unable to find care for them due to short term hospital stays.

 The majority of the clinical workload will be in response to the needs of our most commonly rehomed species those being dogs, cats, rabbits, other small animals, and chickens. However, we do also have large numbers of chelonia, exotic birds, and other fowl on site. Experience with the more exotic species is something you will be supported in building, and we also have access to specialist external vets to assist and advise with those animals. Raystede also rehomes equines, sheep, goats, and alpaca which are currently all supported by an external large animal veterinary practice so experience with those species is not necessary for this role.

 Reporting to the Head Veterinary Surgeon a generous CPD budget is offered as development is seen as a key part of Raystede’s culture. At Raystede we live our values of being inspiring, professional, passionate, committed, and caring and compassionate.

Working pattern: full-time (36.25 hours per week) - part time considered

It is essential that you live within the Thames Valley region, or close enough to commute 

Working location: mostly remote work with some travel required. You will deliver a face-to-face service to clients in their own home or safe meeting place across the Thames Valley area as well as providing support by phone, email or other means to suit the service user. We take a person-centred approach so the amount of travel will vary depending on your caseload at the time. You’re in control of your own diary. 

Why this role is important: Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on UK roads. For families affected, the emotional and practical challenges are immense. As a Caseworker, you will provide trauma-informed care to individuals and families suffering from the sudden bereavement or life-altering injury of a loved one. Working mostly remotely, with some home visits to service users, you’ll offer vital emotional and practical support—including helping them access therapeutic resources, financial assistance, and guidance through the complexities of medical and legal processes. 

About Brake: Brake is a renowned and respected road safety charity with a 30-year history dedicated to supporting people affected by road crashes and advocating for safer streets. 

The role: This is a rewarding role where every day brings the opportunity to make a positive difference to people's lives. We regularly receive testimonials from service users describing the life-changing impact of receiving support from our caseworkers in the National Road Victim Service.

You'll join a closely knit team of fellow caseworkers, each using their individual experience and skills to provide person-centred support to victims. This provides a ready-made peer group who share best practice and knowledge and support each other so, in turn, they can best support road victims. There's no sugar coating it, this isn't an easy role, it requires a special type of person with strong resilience, but the reward is a strong sense of purpose, every day. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so we have strong support systems in place to support our caseworker's wellbeing, including clinical supervision. 

What we offer:

- A generous 35 days of annual leave (including bank holidays and 3-day end of year shutdown) 

- Birthday day off 

- Flexible working (choose a working pattern to suit you between the hours of 8am-6pm Mon-Fri) 

- Enhanced sick pay and compassionate leave 

- Death in service benefit 

- Pension 

- Employee Assistance Programme 

- Clinical supervision and excellent support 

- A rewarding role with purpose 

- Be part of a skilled, friendly team with an engaged Board of Trustees 

- Opportunity to attend prestigious events such as the Brake annual reception and awards (if you want to) 

Who we're looking for 

Full training will be provided under the guidance of our dedicated Training Officer. Our induction program has been developed to equip caseworkers with the skills they need to provide high quality support to road victims and covers topics such as being trauma-informed, safeguarding and risk management. We're open to candidates from all sorts of backgrounds, as long as you're a compassionate, self-starter with a background in providing high-quality emotional support and advocacy. Your experience in roles within the NHS, any health and social care, road safety, counselling, the police and family liaison officers, lived experience or any type of casework could make you an ideal candidate. 

Essential Requirements: 

• A full, clean UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (travel expenses are reimbursed) 

• Resident within commutable distance to the Thames Valley area. 

• Experience delivering frontline support, preferably involving sudden bereavement or heightened vulnerabilities. 

• Strong advocacy and research skills to liaise with multiple organisations on behalf of service users. 

• Competency in I.T skills to work remotely. 

Desirable Experience: 

Comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the criminal justice system and coronial process

We particularly welcome applications from those who are part of the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled. We are proud to be a disability confident employer.
