Job Description

Are you a passionate and skilled RVN looking for a rewarding career in a supportive, independent practice?

We believe RVNs are essential clinical professionals--not support staff. We're looking for a dedicated and proactive nurse who wants to fully utilise their skills, grow in their role, and be genuinely valued in a supportive, team-led practice.


As part of our team, you'll have the freedom to carry out the full range of procedures permitted under Schedule 3 of the Veterinary Surgeons Act. This includes performing minor surgeries, administering medical treatments, placing IVs, managing anaesthesia, and leading nurse consults such as second vaccinations, diabetic clinics, parasite control, post-op checks, and more.


You'll be involved in inpatient care, diagnostics, radiography, dental procedures, client education, and clinical decision-making. We encourage RVNs to mentor students, contribute to protocol development, and pursue further training--whether you're passionate about ECC, surgical nursing, or consulting.


Enjoy a better work-life balance with our standard 4-day week. We also offer the flexibility of 3 or 5-day patterns, plus a balanced 1-in-8 weekend rota. This means you'll have more time to spend with loved ones, pursue hobbies, or simply relax and recharge. We also have an amazing dedicated night team to help us provide 24/7 in-house care, so you can enjoy a peaceful night's sleep without worrying about emergency calls.


We offer a positive, inclusive team culture with flexibility, clinical freedom, and plenty of opportunities to develop. You'll receive a competitive salary, funded CPD, paid professional fees, pension, private medical insurance, staff benefits, and a healthy work-life balance.


If you're an RVN looking for a role where you can do what you trained for and feel appreciated doing it, we'd love to hear from you.
