We strive to practice good quality, referral standard care to our canine and feline friends on island. Our clients are lovely and their pets very much a part of their families. As we have no specialist back-up (only overseas in the USA) we get to see and treat a varied and wide caseload that can often really challenge us professionally. Though we may be in an exotic location we do not see exotic species. We are also not a spay and neuter clinic and instead are offering advanced surgical and medical procedures alongside a mobile service that takes us on the road weekly with Home Visit appointments. These can be very varied, colorful and a great way to see the island and it’s people.
Clinic based shifts are currently on a 6 week rotation. Surgical , medical, reception and mobile. An average 4 day week, 3 Saturday mornings and one duty weekend in 6 weeks. Weeknight duties are shared fairly between the nursing team. This pattern allows for a 40 hour working week, any overtime accrued is remunerated at time and half over 40 hours and additional call out fee and after hours fees are paid on an individual basis.
- Equally shared on demand after-hours and weekend cover.
- A generous remuneration package is offered. Cayman´s cost of living is slightly higher in comparison to London.

WHEN?
Within the next 3 to 6 months ideally. The work permit application process takes about 3 months. Note: initially there will be some effort on your part to arrange the necessary paperwork for this submission. This includes Police Clearance certificate, Letter of Good Standing from the RCVS, Professional qualification documentation to be notarised, along with the Work Permit submission form and application to the local veterinary board. You will be assisted and guided through this process.
WHY?
Why not? Covid has reminded us to enjoy the best of life and to excel at doing what you love. We want quality nurses with high standards to continue to help our well respected small animal clinic to thrive. Our physical footprint maybe small but our hearts and impact are broad.

We are seeking an enthusiastic team member who loves animals. Our team is very committed to each patient and we strive to provide the best, personalised medical care and service.
Bermuda is a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 780 miles off the East coast of the USA.

Our practice values are important, so we are looking for people who share them. They are: trust, honesty, loyalty, integrity, quality, effort and fairness.
You’ll absolutely have a sense of adventure (and fun). Bermuda has much to explore.
In a hospital like ours, there is support, but we’ve noticed that the people who do best have the following qualities:

The ideal candidate for our RVN position will be experienced in small animal handling and anesthesia and have a good working knowledge of using medical equipment. You will be involved in inpatient care, lab work and nursing consultations, inventory checks of supplies, assisting during soft tissue & orthopedic surgery, monitoring of anesthesia during surgeries and dentals, organization of the surgery, supplies and equipment.
Typical responsibilities will include assisting our Veterinarians with:
- Routine consults
- Inpatient medicine
- Surgical procedures
- Managing critical care patients
- Dentistry
- 24-hour hospital care
- OOH patient calls
We do see emergency cases so if you like ECC then this is a role you will enjoy. Don’t be put off though if you need support for these cases. As long as you are willing to learn, we’ll support you in further developing these skills.

Job Role: Volunteer Vets/Techs/Nurses for Sterilization Projects
VAAR is seeking hardworking and self-motivated volunteer veterinary/technicians/nurses for the reopening of our vet projects on 1 September with a sterilization/vaccination clinic (no critical care facilities) along with house visit service. In 2024, mobile work in rural communities will commence as well.
As a vegan organization, our clinic is also anti-speciesist, and it is likely we will encounter other species that will need our help. Our international clinic nearby that we use for our cats and dogs knows/cares absolutely nothing about our chickens and pigs and this has been incredibly frustrating, so we will be hiring only vegan veterinarians/techs/nurses as both volunteers and full-time staff so that we can finally ensure that all our rescues are just patients, not pets versus "food animals." Speciesism has no place in the veterinary industry. that will prevent animal suffering on a mass scale in central Vietnam.
An experienced international vet nurse burned out on clinical work is ideal for this position. For the six months, we will only be able to have volunteer vets (one-month minimum) with a stipend and housing available, but as we grow, we are hiring full-time, year-round vegan vet staff to carry out the project. No emergencies or on-call needed. Experience with both pet species and avian/farmed animals is vital. We have absolutely no veterinary care for our farm sanctuary animals at this point, so we really need people who can use their experience to treat them as best they can here.
Vietnam's borders are now open and there are currently no COVID restrictions.
Job Description:
A bare minimum of 2 years of full-time work in a Western standard clinic with experience in
high-volume sterilization is ideal. Surgical skills must be top-notch and experience with
injectable anesthesia is necessary. The ability to train our Vietnamese vet intern is vital.
Work weeks will include Monday, Wednesday, and Friday sterilization then Tuesday and
Thursday house calls, mobile clinics, and set-up work as necessary. Weekends will be free to
explore the beautiful area of Central Vietnam and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hoi An.
If you are burned out from high-pressure clinical work with spoiled and rude clients, exhausted
from working with vets who also eat animals, this is a great break to work in a clinic that is
outspoken for ALL species and appreciates that vets are not robots who should be forced to
work until they break. We are not only anti-speciesist but also anti-burnout. It's not a luxurious
life and some cases will be extremely frustrating, but we make sure you eat well, sleep well, and
take breaks even if we don't have the funding to pay you particularly well.
Preferred:
- 2 or 4-year degree in an animal-based qualification, veterinary nursing qualification ideal
- Experience living and working in a low resource developing country, with strength in creatively solving problems in a place lacking the rule of law, without international veterinarians, and without many materials and financial needs
- Experience working within the charity sector and/or experience in fundraising
