Job Description

Are you ready to join a team where your skills, ideas, and passion for patient care truly matter? Our client is a long-established, independent veterinary practice offering a friendly and supportive environment where every team member can thrive. They provide a perfect blend of modern facilities, professional development, and a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere.

Our client is seeking a dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) to join their experienced and enthusiastic team. You’ll work alongside skilled vets, nurses, and support staff who value collaboration, continuous learning, and high-quality care. This role offers the opportunity to use your full nursing skill set, shape your duties around your interests, and receive full support to pursue further qualifications or certificates. You’ll also contribute to mentoring student nurses and helping the next generation grow in a positive, hands-on learning environment.

Mileage is paid for out-of-hours travel, and you’ll receive Friday afternoon off following a weekend on call.
