• Admitting and discharging patients with clarity, empathy, and professionalism
• Supporting reception with client communication, telephone queries, and front-of-house duties
• Maintaining a clean and safe working environment in line with infection control protocols
• Assisting with stock control, equipment maintenance, and contributing to the smooth running of daily operations
• Option to support and mentor student nurses or junior team members depending on experience

We actively encourage nurses to develop their clinical interests and utilise their full skillset. This is not a "backroom" role—our nurses are essential to the heartbeat of our practice.

• 2 long days
• 2 half days
• 1 shorter day finishing at 5pm

You'll also take part in our 1 in 7 weekend rota, which includes:

• Saturday: Morning consults until 1pm, then on-call for evening surgery (5–6pm)
• Sunday: Emergency consult hour (9:30–10:30am), followed by on-call cover until 6pm

We balance clinical responsibility with personal wellbeing, ensuring our team gets appropriate downtime between shifts.

Salary & Benefits

• Salary: £28,000 – £31,000, depending on experience
• Open to newly qualified RVNs – we offer mentorship, training, and support
• CPD encouraged and funded – we want to help you grow
• Staff discounts on veterinary care and retail
• A collaborative and welcoming team atmosphere
• Genuine opportunity to shape the way we deliver care

• A qualified or soon-to-qualify RVN with a positive, can-do attitude
