  • Delivering excellent inpatient care, including pain management and enrichment

  • Contributing to a smooth, well-organised day alongside an experienced support team
Nurse-led clinics are actively encouraged here, covering areas such as weight management, behaviour, chronic conditions and preventative care, giving you real autonomy and job satisfaction.
You'll be joining a friendly, multi-disciplinary team who take pride in creating a positive, supportive atmosphere—both for clients and for each other.
There's a strong focus on collaboration, with experienced vets (including certificate holders) who are approachable and keen to support nurses in developing their clinical interests. The practice offers a varied caseload, including both medical and surgical work, allowing you to keep your skills sharp and continue learning.
Newly qualified nurses who feel ready to step into a busy, supportive environment are very welcome to apply.
