Registered Veterinary Nurse

We are looking for a compassionate and motivated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Vet on the Hill.

We opened in Caterham in 2014. The same two vets who unlocked the door that first morning are still here. So is the head nurse who stood with them. Over the years the team has grown around them — partners, children, friends — people who look after each other as carefully as they do their patients. We are part of IVC Evidensia, that brings real benefits and solid support behind the scenes, but the practice feels the way it always has.

IVC Evidensia is the UK and Europe’s leading veterinary care group, made up of over 900 practices and referral hospitals, united by a shared purpose of happier animals, happier owners.

At IVC Evidensia, we believe careers should be built without limits. Our people are supported to make more clinical impact, access more career opportunities, and play an active role in their local and professional communities. Through investment in learning, innovation, and wellbeing, we create environments where our teams can grow in confidence, capability, and fulfilment—at every stage of their career.
