Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
We have a rare and exciting opportunity for a talented Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our welcoming and supportive team. This position is to cover maternity leave for up to one year.
You will be based at our Milehouse clinic, commuting distance to both Dartmoor and the coast. We’re also next door to both Central Park and the life centre and have access to ample parking directly opposite Argyle Park and ride.
We are well equipped with a multi-monitor unit, ultrasound, bronchoscope, dental x-ray, laparoscopy, and in-house laboratory for biochemistry and haematology work.
The best part of our practice is our friendly, long-standing team who have lots of diverse interests – orthopaedics, medicine, imaging, behaviour, dental and more! Any special interests are strongly encouraged and supported.
Preferably, we are looking for a full-time candidate who will work 37.5 hours a week spread over 4 days. You’d also join a rolling rota with the occasional Saturday until 3 pm.
Our practice does not offer after-hours facilities, so nurses are not required to work nights or be on call. We value your work-life balance.
This role is to cover maternity leave initially but as our little practice is expanding this could lead to more.

You will be confident in all areas of veterinary nursing, with a proactive, can-do attitude. We are a very friendly team and are looking for a like-minded addition.
