Deputy Head Nurse
We’re on the lookout for a Deputy Head Nurse to join our nursing team at The Pet Vet Lincoln! This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team, dedicated to consistently delivering exceptional clinical care and customer service. This role assists the Head Nurse in driving the efficiency, effectiveness, governance and continuous improvement of the clinical activities within the surgery. Our ideal candidate will be a team player - keen to get stuck in and support their colleagues. You’ll have excellent communication skills and thrive on a varied caseload!

Working Hours & Flexibility

Our weekend rota follows a 1-in-4 pattern, and duty nights on rotation
We understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and we’re proud to offer flexible working patterns for many of our team members. If you’re looking for something slightly different from the structure above, we’re more than happy to have a chat. We're committed to finding a setup that works for you—because balance matters.
