Ready to Lead a Nursing Team in a Brand-New, Purpose-Built Hospital?

I’m delighted to be recruiting for an exceptional opportunity for a Head Veterinary Nurse who is ready to step into a meaningful leadership role within a newly established, modern veterinary hospital. If you’re driven, organised, and passionate about delivering outstanding patient care, this role offers the perfect platform to showcase your strengths.

This is a chance to join a well-established veterinary group known for its supportive culture, strong clinical standards, and commitment to ongoing development. You’ll be part of a collaborative network with access to excellent mentorship, peer support, and robust CPD opportunities—ideal for a nurse who wants to grow while guiding a team of their own.

What This Role Involves

As Head Veterinary Nurse, you will:

  • Lead, support, and empower a growing nursing team

  • Help shape the clinical standards and daily operations of a brand-new hospital

  • Ensure patients receive exceptional care across surgery, inpatient nursing, diagnostics, and client communication

  • Mentor junior nurses and encourage continuous skill development

  • Contribute to building efficient workflows and establishing best-practice nursing protocols

  • Foster a welcoming, professional environment for both clients and colleagues

Your leadership will be central to creating a positive team culture and ensuring the smooth running of this state-of-the-art facility.

What I’m Looking For

I’d love to speak with RVNs who demonstrate:

  • Strong clinical capability and confidence in all routine nursing duties

  • Proven organisational and leadership skills

  • A proactive, collaborative working style

  • Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities

  • A genuine commitment to delivering high-quality patient and client care

  • The motivation to help grow and stabilise a new team

What’s Offered

  • Competitive salary from €38,000+ DOE

  • A purpose-built, modern hospital designed to support gold-standard care

  • A progressive working environment with genuine career progression

  • Continuous CPD support and encouragement to further develop professionally

  • A supportive leadership team and access to a wide clinical network

This is a standout opportunity to make your mark in a new, well-resourced hospital where your influence will be felt from day one.

If you’re an experienced RVN who’s ready to shape and lead a dedicated nursing team, I’d be delighted to speak with you.
