Our busy small animal practice in Redhill is seeking an enthusiastic and professional Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly, supportive team.
About us
We are a happy, well-established practice providing clients with a high standard of clinical care while maintaining a compassionate approach to everything we do. The practice is purpose-built, offers plentiful free on-site parking, and is fully equipped with modern facilities including digital X-ray, ultrasound, Doppler, ECG, and pulse oximetry.
Redhill benefits from excellent transport links by road, rail, and air—just a 20-minute drive or 15-minute direct train to Gatwick Airport, and only 30 minutes from London by train. The area is also surrounded by the natural beauty of the North Downs, with nearby flooded quarries offering fantastic opportunities for wildlife and birdwatching.
Our supportive team includes 6 vets, 4 RVNs, 2 SVNs, 2 VCAs, a dedicated reception team, and a Practice Manager, all working together to create a positive and collaborative working environment.
About you

You will be keen to develop your understanding of the practice as a business and show an interest in motivating and supporting a team to achieve both individual and practice goals.
