Registered Veterinary Nurse

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK's number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, confident Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Downland Vets on a full-time basis.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an experienced team that is passionate about putting patients first and delivering high standards of client care.

The practice is well-equipped with ultrasound, X-ray (including dental X-ray), endoscopy, four consult rooms and an in-house laboratory. The successful candidate should be confident in working in all areas of patient care and first-opinion small animal practice, though a keen interest in nursing clinics and consultations would be the icing on the cake. We have a large client base and are keenly growing and improving our nurse-led clinics and initiatives. If supporting clients and their pets face-to-face is your passion, this is the job for you.
