Maidstone
GBP 10,000 - 40,000
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse looking to progress into a Head RVN position at our well-equipped first and second opinion, small animal and exotic Veterinary practice in Maidstone, Kent.
The successful candidate will be working alongside our friendly team of qualified vets, nurses, and animal care assistants to provide a high standard of care for our clients and hospital patients.

Our Nurses see an exciting and varied small animal & exotics caseload and they have the opportunity to continually develop their skills through an excellent CPD programme. Our motto is, if it fits through the door, we'll see it!
Typically, this is a full-time role working 40 hours over 4 or 5 days with participation in a weekend rota and no OOH. However, part-time applications will also be considered alongside flexible working arrangements should they be needed.
