If you are a Registered Veterinary Nurse looking for a friendly and supportive working environment, then come and join us at Bishopbriggs Vets for Pets! (Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire).
At Bishopbriggs Vets for Pets we are an RCVS PSS (and have been for the past 14 years), an RVN training practice, a Silver Cat Friendly practice and we are currently working towards the Silver Investors in Environment award.

Our nurses are veterinary professionals and as such we ensure that they are able to fulfil their clinical potential. Two of the nursing team have been with us over 20 years combined, with our head nurse also being a clinical coach who is supporting our employed SVN through their studies. Continuing your learning is just as important to us, and we offer a great CPD allowance to our Nurses. Our collective strength is in anaesthesia, and we are keen to maintain this.
You will join a very stable team which is currently made up of 3 FT vets, 3 FT RVNs, 1 SVN, Practice Manager and 3 receptionists, which we find is the perfect balance for ensuring you always get breaks and time in the diary to catch up on admin. Our practice provides excellent facilities giving you access to all the equipment and space you need to care for your patients.

We are offering a salary of up to £32,000 (DOE) for 35 to 40 hours per week, which includes a 1 in 3 full day Saturday rota. No Sundays or OOHs!
We also offer fantastic benefits that include:
