Job description

Overview

Are you a proactive and confident Registered Veterinary Nurse looking for a fulfilling role in a practice that truly values nurse utilisation? Chapelfield Veterinary Partnership is looking for a passionate RVN to join our friendly and supportive team based at our Long Stratton branch. We’re proud of the atmosphere we’ve built, where CPD is encouraged, clinical interests are nurtured, and our nurses play a key role in the care we provide.

This is a varied role within a well-established practice, offering you the chance to work across a range of responsibilities including nurse consultations, theatre work, and inpatient care. We pride ourselves on rotating roles daily, so you\'ll enjoy a mix of tasks throughout the week, with the opportunity to focus on areas that interest you—such as diabetes management, consultations, or inpatient care.

You’ll be part of a skilled and collaborative team consisting of 5 Vets, 6 RVNs, and a dedicated Veterinary Care Assistant, all working together to provide gold-standard service to both pets and their owners.

Work Schedule

• Part-time: 3 days per week, Monday, Thursday and Friday - 7.5-hour shifts
• 1 in 8 Saturday mornings (8:30am–1:30pm) with time back in lieu

We believe in utilising our nurses to their full potential and offering opportunities to develop and lead in areas of interest. You’ll be part of a positive and professional culture where every team member’s input is valued.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking either an experienced RVN or a newly qualified nurse with a proactive mindset and a passion for delivering excellent care. Thanks to the depth of experience within our current team, we can offer a supportive environment ideal for building your confidence in a first role or continuing to develop your clinical interests. Confidence in consultations is desirable, and an interest in areas such as diabetes management would be a bonus.

Why Join Us?
