Are you an experienced RVN looking for your next steps? Do you want to be part of a supportive, forward-thinking team that truly values its nurses? If so, we have an exciting opportunity to work at our Irvine practice as a Head RVN!
About the Role
We’re looking for a passionate, driven Head RVN to join our dynamic team. Our clinics are built on mutual respect, support, and continuous development. You'll be backed by a team that includes a Head Nurse and our RVN Business Partner, someone who truly understands your role and values.

Since 1991, when we were a wholesaler with a team of just 15, we’ve been focused on getting better every day. By putting pets before profit, working as a team and taking pride in everything we do, we’ve grown into a 451 store network with more than 8,913 colleagues working in our Stores, Grooming Salons, Distribution Centres and Support Office.
We are the UK’s leading pet specialist, providing pet owners with all their product needs, as well as our Vets for Pets practices and Grooming salons. We support our colleagues to work with pride and passion, to bring honesty and integrity to work every day, and to do it all with a sense of fun and fearlessness. We never shy away from having the important conversations and doing what we say we’ll do.
Our values and behaviours are practiced daily across the business and are what really makes us an enjoyable, exciting place to work. We're always striving to develop and reward our colleagues with an extensive in-house series of training programmes, wellbeing initiatives and a comprehensive benefits package. In 2018 we were delighted to be voted top 5 in the Great Place to Work UK’s Large category.
