Our Client is a corporately owned practice seeking a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join their beautiful first-opinion clinic. This is an excellent opportunity for an RVN who enjoys a busy GP environment and wants to be part of an evolving, supportive team with strong links to a 24-hour hospital service.

Working Hours / Rota
The role offers flexibility of up to 30 hours per week, making it ideal for an RVN seeking part-time work, with the option to explore full-time hours if preferred. The rota includes participation in a 1:4 branch Saturday rotation and a 1:10 Sunday rotation along with responsibility for one bank holiday per year worked at the hospital. There are no on-call duties associated with this position. As part of your induction, you will spend a dedicated day at the hospital to ensure you feel confident and well prepared before your first Sunday shift.

Role Description

For those interested in career progression, there is clear support and access to leadership training within the wider group.
