This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a growing practice where your skills and ideas will be truly valued. Whether you’re an experienced Nurse searching for a new opportunity, or you’ve recently qualified and are looking for supportive team to find your feet; we will help you reach your potential.

Based inside a Pets at Home store on Fairlands Way, see a wide variety of cases, including cats, dogs and small furries, and we take pride in working up cases to an extremely high standard.

You should be a team player with excellent communication skills, eager to grow your clinical experience, and motivated to contribute positively to both patient outcomes and the wider practice.

The key to your success will be your ability to embrace all aspects of the Veterinary Nurse role, delivering excellent patient and client care.

This is a full-time role working 40 hours per week over 4 or 5 days, with 1 in 3 weekends.

We offer a supportive and friendly working environment together with career development opportunities and an excellent package and benefits that includes;

  • Competitive salary from £31,000 FTE and DOE
