Location: Village Vet Highgate
Hours: Full time
8-hour shifts on a rota basis, including early and late shifts.

Village Vet Highgate is a busy, well-established first opinion practice seeking an experienced RVN to step into a Lead Nurse position on a fixed-term maternity cover basis. This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-performing, close-knit team delivering a wide range of clinical services and maintaining high standards of patient care.
The practice is known for managing a varied and complex caseload in-house, supported by an experienced veterinary team and a collaborative working environment.
As a Lead Registered Veterinary Nurse, you will play a key role in both the clinical delivery and leadership of the nursing team. You will work closely with the Lead Vet and wider team to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the practice while maintaining high standards of patient and client care.
This is a predominantly clinical role, with additional responsibility for team coordination, workflow management, and supporting junior team members.
The team is highly collaborative, with a strong culture of mutual support across all departments.
While this is a maternity cover position, there may be potential for alternative roles within the practice as the team evolves, though these may not be at Lead level.
