  • Contributing to inpatient care, monitoring, and post-op recovery

  • Getting involved in nurse-led consults and schedule 3 procedures

  • Taking initiative while working solo or as part of a close-knit team

  • Playing an active role in maintaining high standards of care and workflow

What You Can Expect:

  • A stable, full-time position in a well-equipped, busy hospital setting

  • A clinical culture that values teamwork, trust, and compassion

  • Opportunities to pursue personal areas of interest and develop skills

  • A supportive leadership team that empowers nurses to thrive

  • Ongoing training, mentorship, and flexibility to shape your role

Who We’re Looking For:

  • RCVS-registered veterinary nurse with solid clinical experience

  • A team player who enjoys a hands-on role and varied days

  • Confident handling inpatient care and taking initiative when needed

  • Passionate about delivering a high standard of service to both clients and pets

  • Open to learning, sharing knowledge, and growing alongside the team
