Help maintain and continually elevate our already high standards of patient care

Partner with the Practice Manager and vets to drive an engaged, positive team culture

Be part of the wider VetLove network, with support, resources and shared knowledge across our clinics

We’re looking for someone who:

Is a qualified veterinary nurse with proven leadership or management experience

Loves high standards of nursing and genuinely cares about patient outcomes

Is confident working in a busy surgical and clinical environment

Enjoys mentoring and developing other nurses

Can lead with confidence, positivity, patience and a good sense of humour

A fantastic range of surgical and diagnostic equipment

Plenty of opportunities to expand your clinical and leadership skills

If you’re a nurse who wants more than just another nursing job and you want to work somewhere that genuinely invests in great medicine, great people and great patient care we’d love to hear from you.
