We are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for an experienced or newly qualified Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our warm and supportive team at Brislington Vets for Pets.
About Us
Brislington Vets for Pets is a locally owned, purpose-built small animal practice designed to industry-leading standards. Our bright, air-conditioned facility is fully equipped to support a busy GP practice, including a Class 4 laser, Vet-tome, dental FireCR digital radiography, a dedicated surgical suite, and a fully equipped dental suite.
Our Team
You will be joining a close-knit, highly experienced clinical team with a strong and supportive nursing focus. Our nursing team plays a central role in the smooth running of the practice and consists of three Registered Veterinary Nurses, one Student Nurse, and one VCA, all working collaboratively to deliver high standards of patient care.
The wider team is led by Practice Owner Gabriel, who has a strong surgical interest and is nearing completion of a certificate in orthopaedics. He is supported by three experienced vets, all of whom have been with the practice for over six years. One team member previously left but returned due to their strong connection to the practice, while another has been here since the practice opened—reflecting the positive, stable, and supportive environment we are proud of.
Alongside the clinical team, we have a Practice Manager, Deputy Practice Manager, and a dedicated group of friendly and professional Client Care Advisors.
