This is a fantastic opportunity to join a friendly, close-knit, and genuinely caring team. The successful candidate will work alongside 6 vets, 6 RVNs, and a wider 24-person practice, contributing to a modern environment where gold-standard care is at the heart of everything they do. Whether covering maternity or looking for a permanent role, candidates will have the chance to develop their skills, enjoy excellent CPD support, and work with state-of-the-art equipment.

• Deliver excellent clinical care across the practices
• Assist with surgeries, inpatient care, and diagnostics using advanced equipment
• Support and guide clients with empathy and clear communication
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to maintain the highest standards of care
• Contribute to a positive, supportive, and pet-first culture

Requirements

They are looking for someone who is:

• A qualified RVN, confident in both clinical and client-facing duties
• Enthusiastic, team-oriented, and committed to excellent patient care
• Flexible to cover Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (with part-time or full-time options available)
• Keen to learn, grow, and make the most of CPD opportunities

Benefits

• Competitive pay of up to £14.18/hr
• £1000 pro-rata CPD allowance for RVNs, including travel and accommodation
• Option of maternity cover from December or a permanent contract starting earlier
• Be part of a supportive 24-person practice with no out-of-hours work

• Saturdays only 1 in 4 (currently closer to 1 in 6)
