We are Family <3
Admin Team
When Rhiannan applied for a position at YVV, she thought she was just getting a job. But she ended up with so much more.
I’ve been a veterinary nurse coming up 10 years this year I have worked in many veterinary hospitals, working with animals is something I’ve always done and it’s something I’ll always love. At the time I phoned and applied for a position at for Yass Valley Veterinary, I can honestly say that life was dealing me some difficult cards. I was much relieved when I was informed that I had got the position and was to start the very next week.
Starting a new job anywhere can be very daunting but starting a new job in a small town (not knowing a single person) in a veterinary practice with 30+ staff members is exceptionally daunting. There were so many new faces and names to remember and just when you think you’ve got them all correct you see a new face on a different shift. Also learning new policies and procedures that come with starting at a new practice
Each and every staff member made me feel so welcome, they were all so kind and accommodating to any questions or concerns I had.
Working in the veterinary industry, I am very aware that this industry has one of the highest suicide rates of any other profession. Yass Valley Veterinary truly cares about their employees and their mental health… We all work as a team and look out for each other inside and outside of work hours.
The first week of work for me at Yass valley veterinary involved a well being session by which all staff members took an hour out of their day and left the building to do an activity together in regards to our mental health and well being. I’ve never worked in a practice who cares so much about its employees, and at this point I knew I wanted to stay!
As the weeks went by, I eventually remembered everyone’s names and developed friendships that I know will last a lifetime.
12 months on and I now think of the employees of YVV as a family rather than coworkers.
I am forever grateful for my Yass Valley Veterinary Family!
