Up to £30,000 DOE | Full-time | Permanent | No OOH

I am working with a well-established, 100% small animal practice on the beautiful Ayrshire coast who are looking to welcome a friendly, motivated RVN into their team from end of April / early May.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys gold-standard patient care, thrives in a supportive team environment, and wants to be part of a practice that’s continuing to invest and grow.

The Practice
This is a multi-branch small animal practice with 2 sites, both conveniently located close to train stations and bus routes, so driving isn’t essential. The team is experienced, approachable and genuinely passionate about excellent nursing standards.

They’re well-equipped with:

  • In-house lab
  • Digital x-ray
  • Ultrasound
  • Dental machine
  • Access to an external specialist ultrasonographer for cardiology

Two branches are also recognised training facilities for student nurses, so there’s a great learning culture in place.

The Role
The ideal RVN will be confident with:

  • Anaesthesia and monitoring
  • Nurse consults
  • In-patient care and hospitalisation

You’ll be working alongside a supportive group of vets, RVNs and front-of-house staff who value teamwork and good communication.

What’s On Offer

  • Salary up to £30,000 DOE
  • Full-time, permanent position
  • No out-of-hours
  • 1 in 4 Saturday mornings only (8:30am–12:30pm)
  • RCVS registration fees paid
  • Funded CPD (actively encouraged)
  • Regular in-house lunch and learns
  • Hours and salary negotiable for the right person

Why Join?
One branch is undergoing a major refurbishment in the coming months, bringing upgraded facilities and improved services for clients and patients. It’s a brilliant time to join a practice with a clear focus on progression and team support.
