There is no need to worry - working Out of Hours can offer you a real opportunity to enjoy up to 35 non-working weeks a year, whilst earning a salary that’s the same as or better than a daytime role. Because we appreciate the skill required to work Out of Hours, our rates of pay are excellent! A MiNightVet position can offer you the opportunity to work a one week in three rota pattern (one week on, two weeks off) for a similar salary to a full time day vet/nurse position. We pay your RCVS and VDS fees and provide a generous CPD allowance (fully supporting certificates too!). Our contracts also offer maternity pay, pension, staff discounts and much more!

It’s natural to have some concerns about working nights if you haven’t ever done so before. Will you cope with staying up all night? Will you be able to sleep during the day? The truth is that working nights is not for everybody, and even those who love it will often say that it takes a little bit of getting used to. But, don’t worry – we can provide guidance and support to ensure that you transition to working nights in the right way, and to support your wellbeing as you continue to work Out of Hours. There are plenty of resources outside of MiNightVet to help as well. Our teams stay awake all night (except during their 60 minute rest period), to ensure that our in-patients are cared for as though they were our own – but they are not trying to take care of cases Out of Hours on top of working full days as well. Instead, our teams are offered regular, long blocks of time-off shift to recuperate and enjoy genuine quality time with family, their horses, train for a marathon or with a shovel in hand in the garden (whatever their personal interests and passions may be!).

Pursuing a career in Out of Hours can offer you the time and opportunity to pursue many other goals or hobbies! With rota patterns that usually offer 1-3 week blocks off on a regular basis, giving you up to 35 non-working weeks a year but a great salary, working Out of Hours can offer you the perfect opportunity to establish a healthy work life balance. So, if you fancy building a house, taking up a new sport or hobby or just having time to BE, then working Out of Hours can offer you a real opportunity to make it happen!
