Registered Veterinary Nurse – Basingstoke (Independent Practice)
Salary: Up to £32,000 DOE

We’re supporting a well-established, independent veterinary in Basingstoke. This is a modern, well-equipped practice offering a truly varied caseload and a chance to be fully involved in both medical and surgical nursing.

Why this role might suit you:
This branch sees everything from routine consults to complex procedures including orthopaedics, ophthalmology, and even exotics—ideal for an RVN who loves being hands-on and involved in a range of cases.

The role:

  • Full-time, 40 hours per week
  • Shifts between 8:00am–7:00pm
  • 1 in 4 Saturdays
  • 1 in 8 Sundays (8:30am–4:00pm)
  • No out-of-hours
  • Very rare reception cover
  • Mix of surgical and medical nursing, consults, and inpatient care

The team:
You’ll be joining a supportive, experienced team of:

  • 7 vets
  • A strong nursing team (RVNs, SVNs, ANAs)
  • Dedicated admin support

They’re a friendly and proactive bunch who truly value their nurses, and they’re open to applications from confident, newly qualified RVNs—particularly if you've had solid exposure during training. A surgical interest would be an added bonus!

What’s on offer:

  • Salary from £27.5k to £32k, depending on experience
  • CPD allowance, with scope for certificate support
  • 28 days annual leave (including bank holidays, and the practice is closed on bank hols)
  • No OOHs

Next steps: If shortlisted, you’ll be invited to visit the practice for an informal meet and greet with the team—including Head Nurse and Clinical Director — Get in touch with Sophie for more details.
