Job Description

At Apsley Vets for Pets, we’re proud to offer both part-time and full-time opportunities, with the flexibility to shape the role around you. Whether you’re looking for set days, fixed shifts, or value having weekends free to support your work–life balance, we’re open to accommodating most requests. We’d love to have a conversation about what works best for you.

Conveniently located with ample on-site parking, our practice is home to a friendly and supportive team of three vets, two RVNs, one SVN, two VCAs, a practice manager, and three receptionists. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming and collaborative environment.

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to utilise your nursing skills to their full potential. Responsibilities include patient admissions, anaesthetic monitoring, supporting recovery, and carrying out discharges. You’ll be well supported by our VCAs and Student Veterinary Nurse, particularly with theatre turnaround and patient preparation, allowing you to focus on delivering excellent clinical care.

To be considered, you’ll have solid general nursing experience, strong client care skills, and a positive, down-to-earth, and enthusiastic approach. Above all, you’ll bring a genuine passion for animal welfare and a commitment to high standards of patient care.

In return, we offer an excellent remuneration package, including:

  • Salary of up to £36,000 DOE
  • No OOH or overnight inpatient checks
  • Generous CPD allowance, including funded certificates
  • A strong emphasis on wellbeing
  • Contributory pension scheme

About Pets at Home

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.

Our colleagues are central to the success of the business and are fully trained in pet care and dedicated to animal welfare. Pets are central to everything that we do and 93% of colleagues have their own pets too!
