Whetstone, North London | Up to £35,000 FTE DOE

Join Our Growing Team

Are you a passionate Registered Veterinary Nurse looking for an exciting opportunity in a modern, purpose-built practice? Having opened our doors in Whetstone in Summer 2025, we're continuing to grow our team and are looking for an enthusiastic RVN to join us.

At our practice, collaboration, clinical excellence, and exceptional patient care are at the heart of everything we do. If you're looking for a supportive environment where you can make a real impact while continuing to develop your nursing career, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Practice

Our Practice Owner, Shweta Nakrani, graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2011 and is currently working towards a Certificate in Veterinary Consulting (CertNCS VetCons). Shweta has particular interests in cat-friendly practice, soft tissue surgery, and brachycephalic airway syndrome.

As Shweta explains:

"I'm excited to build a team that thrives on collaboration, positivity and mutual support, creating a workplace where both colleagues and patients can flourish."

Our purpose-built practice has been designed to provide outstanding clinical care while creating an enjoyable working environment for the whole team. Facilities include:

  • Digital radiography
  • Dedicated operating theatre
  • Separate dog, cat and isolation wards
  • Spacious colleague break room

You'll enjoy working in a growing practice where your nursing skills will be fully utilised and valued. We are committed to supporting continuing professional development and further qualifications, including certificate study.

About the Role

We are open to both full-time and part-time applications and are happy to discuss flexible working patterns.

Our opening hours are:

  • Monday to Friday: 9:00am – 7:00pm
  • Saturday: 9:00am – 1:00pm (1 in 2 rota)

There are no out-of-hours requirements, helping you maintain a healthy work-life balance.

About You

We're looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse who:

  • Is a qualified and registered RVN
  • Enjoys working in a busy first-opinion practice
  • Is passionate about delivering exceptional patient and client care
  • Has a proactive and positive approach
  • Enjoys working collaboratively while also being confident working independently
  • Is keen to fully utilise and continue developing their nursing skills
  • Embraces all aspects of the RVN role

Experience as a Clinical Coach, or an interest in becoming one, would be welcomed but is not essential.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is excited by the opportunity to help shape and grow a new practice from the very beginning.

What We Offer

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

  • Salary of up to £35,000 FTE, depending on experience
  • Generous CPD allowance with support towards certificates
  • 5.6 weeks' annual leave, increasing to 6.6 weeks with service
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Paid professional memberships (RCVS, BVA and VDS)
  • Ongoing career development opportunities
  • Access to wellbeing, pastoral support and Employee Assistance Programmes
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • 20% colleague discount at Vets for Pets, Pets at Home and Groom Room
