Ready to lead a growing practice and make it your own?
Medivet Bisley is growing and we’re looking for an experienced RVN to step into a Head Veterinary Nurse role and play a major part in what comes next.
With a new Partner now in practice to lead, support and develop the team, this is an exciting time to join Bisley. You’ll have the backing of an engaged clinical leader while also being given the autonomy to shape the nursing team, influence how the practice runs and help build the kind of workplace you want to be part of.
If you’re looking for your next leadership opportunity, somewhere you can genuinely have an impact this could be the role for you.
Medivet Bisley is a friendly, community-focused practice with a strong local reputation and a loyal client base.
You’ll work closely with our new Partner to help develop the team, improve the day-to-day running of the practice and maintain an environment where excellent patient care and a positive team culture go hand in hand.
As Head Veterinary Nurse, you’ll be an important part of the practice leadership team.
You’ll support and develop our nursing colleagues, help maintain high clinical standards and contribute to the smooth running and continued development of the practice.
As part of Medivet’s hub-and-spoke model, Bisley combines the close-knit feel and continuity of a local practice with access to the resources of our nearby 24-hour hospital in Wokingham.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
