RVN – Maternity Cover (with potential to stay long-term)
East Devon | Independent Practice | Up to £14.18/hr + £1,000 CPD

Tired of corporate red tape and cookie-cutter policies? This is your chance to join one of East Devon’s most respected independent practices, a place where people genuinely come first, and nursing still feels like what it’s meant to be.

This vet-owned group, established over a decade ago, has built an incredible reputation for doing things properly, excellent standards, genuine care, and a team who actually enjoy coming to work.

You’ll join a forward-thinking hospital with all the toys: digital X-ray, colour Doppler ultrasound, multiparameter monitoring with capnography and NIBP, dedicated theatres, laparoscopic spays, tonometry, and much more. Both sites hold RCVS Small Animal General Practice Awards — so clinical standards are high, but the atmosphere is relaxed and supportive.

The team? 6 brilliant vets, 6 skilled RVNs, and 12 friendly support staff who all pull together. It’s the kind of place where you can laugh between consults, be heard when you have ideas, and get stuck into proper hands-on nursing.

What’s on offer

  • Up to £14.18/hr (DOE)
  • £1,000 CPD budget (pro-rata) – travel and accommodation included
  • Flexible start: maternity cover from December, or earlier on a permanent basis
  • Ideally Wednesdays–Fridays, but open to discussion
  • 1 in 4 Saturday mornings (currently closer to 1 in 6)
  • No out-of-hours. Ever.

This is a modern, growing, and proudly independent practice with heart — run by people who actually get it. Get in touch for more details and to be considered by sending your CV over to Sophie via APPLY.
