We are looking for a Clinic Stock Management Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Mercer & Hughes Veterinary Surgeons in Saffron Walden.
With over 40 years of heritage and a trusted reputation across Essex, we combine high-quality veterinary care with strong community relationships and a supportive team environment. You'll be joining a well-established practice where colleagues are encouraged to develop, collaborate and deliver outstanding care to pets and their owners.
As part of Kin Vet Community, a small collective of like-minded community veterinary practices, we benefit from the support, shared expertise and collaborative approach that comes from working alongside teams who share our commitment to exceptional veterinary care. Whilst every practice retains its own culture, leadership and way of working, being part of Kin Vet creates greater opportunities to learn from one another, invest in our people and facilities, and continue evolving the services we provide to pets and their owners.
About the Role
We're excited to introduce this newly created position, offering an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse the opportunity to combine clinical nursing with operational responsibility in a varied and rewarding role.
