We are seeking an enthusiastic, team-orientated full-time Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Zetland Vets on either a permanent or 12-month fixed-term basis.
You’ll be joining a small, friendly and close-knit team, working across our Zetland Road, Stoke Bishop and Fishponds sites.

You’ll work collaboratively with Veterinary Surgeons and the wider practice team, taking responsibility for the nursing care of a range of first opinion cases, contributing to clinical standards and supporting the ongoing development of patient care within the practice.
The role will be predominantly consult-based alongside your wider nursing responsibilities, giving you the opportunity to build strong client relationships while remaining involved in inpatient care, diagnostics, anaesthesia and surgical support.
