Testimonials:
Sarah Brennan RVN:
"I have been at Maven for over 10 years, what makes me stay is the support I have always received from the practice, both management and the other teams. We really are one big family, and everyone gets on very well. We work to a high standard and our patients receive nothing but the best care. Both within and across the teams everyone is very much willing to help each other and enjoy sharing our experiences and learning along the way".
Laura Underwood VCA:
I joined Maven as I have always wanted to work with animals and Maven looked like a great place to work, after going to the website and having a nose around I was more sure I wanted to work here. I stay at Maven because we have a fantastic team and all of us work together and care about each other whether we are reception, nurses, VCAs , vets or management. Maven really encourages VCAs to keep learning even if we want to stay as a VCA and not move up to nursing, they really care about our input and how we can be utilised more for the smooth running of the practice.
