Are you a caring, capable Veterinary Nurse who values genuine teamwork, a supportive environment, and client-focused care? We’re looking for someone to join our small, non-corporate practice where honesty, respect, and compassion drive everything we do.
We’re proud of the close-knit team we’ve built – many of us have been here for years, and we all pitch in to support each other. If you’re someone who wants to feel part of a practice where your work is appreciated and where client and patient care really comes first, we’d love to meet you.
About the Role:
This is a hands-on, varied role where your skills will be put to good use every day. From patient care and anaesthetics to organising the day’s workload and connecting with pet owners, you’ll be a vital part of how we care for both animals and their people.

On-call is only for our own clients, and you’ll never be alone – our long-standing permanent nurse is always happy to chat and explain how the system works in practice. When on call, you’ll need to be no more than 30 minutes from the practice.
