This isn’t just another nursing role. This is your chance to help build a practice where nursing truly matters.
We’re opening a brand-new, purpose-built veterinary surgery and looking for a passionate RVN to be part of the founding team, shaping how the clinic runs, how the team works, and how patient care is delivered from day one.
Why we are different
Too many nursing roles limit what you can do. This one won’t.
- You’ll be working in a state-of-the-art, light and spacious surgery, fully equipped with modern diagnostics and designed to be calm for pets, comfortable for clients, and inspiring for colleagues. The surgery will have 8 consult rooms, 3 operating theatres, separate dental and imaging suites, with a spacious prep area and wards.
- You will influence how the practice runs, how the team works together, and how care is delivered, all while being supported by one of the UK’s largest independent, family-owned veterinary groups.
- You’ll be encouraged to fully utilise your skills from nurse clinics and Schedule 3 procedures to inpatient care, anaesthesia and client education all within a modern, well-equipped environment designed with both patients and teams in mind.
- You won’t just join a team you’ll help create it.
