Are you a qualified (or soon-to-be qualified) Registered Veterinary Nurse looking for a fulfilling part-time role in a supportive, collaborative and genuinely kind team? If so, we’d love to welcome you to Harrogate Vets4Pets!
This position is a part-time role working 24 to 30 hours per week. You will also be working 1 in 4 Saturdays (9am to 6pm) with time off in lieu.
Why Join Us?
We have great progression available in practice. Whether you are looking to develop your skills in leadership, schedule 3 procedures or CPD development.
We’ve worked hard to build a calm, respectful, and inclusive culture where every team member is valued and supported—even on the tougher days. We believe in bringing your full self to work and being part of a team that truly looks after each other.
Our standalone practice is light, spacious, air-conditioned, and just opposite a beautiful park (perfect for lunch breaks or dog walks). Plus, we’re next to a supermarket, have bean-to-cup coffee, a rainbow of teas, and frequent Bettys cakes.
What We're Looking For
- Respect and compassion for patients, clients, and colleagues
- Attention to detail and thorough record-keeping
- A growth mindset and openness to learning from challenges
- Willingness to share ideas and contribute to clinical discussions
- Interest in leading or supporting practice initiatives (e.g. nurse obesity clinics)
- Passionate about your nursing career and keen to develop your own areas of interest

About Us
We’re a close-knit and experienced group made up of 3 RVNs, 2 SVN, 1 VCA, 4 vets—including our Practice Owner Leigh-Anne—our hands-on Practice Manager Sue, and a dedicated clinical care team that includes a Mental Health First Aider.
We pride ourselves on maintaining high clinical standards and benefit from visiting specialists in orthopaedics, ophthalmology, cardiology, and ultrasonography. With a strong focus on keeping cases in-house, including those managed by vets with a passion for soft tissue surgery and a medicine certificate holder, we offer plenty of opportunities for clinical growth.
Learning and development are at the heart of our practice, supported by two clinical coaches and dedicated time for one-to-one support. Our nurses take the lead on audits, protocols, socialisation events, and practice accreditations, and we’re always keen to help individuals pursue their own passions and special interests.
Nurses here are trusted to carry out schedule 3 procedures and truly use their skills to the fullest. We’re also proud to be an inclusive and accessible practice, with wheelchair access, a hearing loop, a digital stethoscope, and an open approach to individual needs.
