Job Description
Are you an RVN looking for a new challenge in a thriving practice where you are encouraged to develop your clinical interests and apply the skills you've trained so hard to acquire? We have an exciting opportunity for a qualified nurse to join our team in Milton Keynes, supporting pets (and their humans) by delivering outstanding care to the highest standard.
About us
Our people are a priority, and this is reflected in our inclusive and welcoming team of 40 colleagues, where the focus is as much on our own emotional wellbeing as in putting pets first.
We have regular practice and clinical meetings, and we actively encourage all our colleagues to develop their individual areas of clinical interest. We regularly recognise individual customer service and teamwork with dedicated awards and rewards. Outside of work organise social gatherings and events throughout the year, including summer rounders, which are all optional to attend.
Here at Milton Keynes Vets for Pets we love new equipment! (In house K-laser, HT Vista, dental x-ray, syringe driver, flexible and rigid endoscopy, nerve stimulator, laparoscopy, fantastic Logic R8 ultrasound and orthopaedic equipment) and we have plenty of space including 6 consult rooms, 2 theatres and prep rooms and a well-equipped and sociable colleague room. We're also very excited to be expanding our practice further in 2025 and adding a CT machine to our equipment list!
About you and the role
This role is full time working 40 hours a week with 1 in 4 weekends on a rota. We understand the importance of a healthy work life balance and so we can offer you either a 4 or 5 day week, whichever suits your lifestyle more!

We have a strong team of 3 SVNs and 4 VCAs who support our nursing team on shifts including prep assist, meds dispense/lab, kennels and admits.
We actively encourage all of our RVNs to take on Schedule 3 responsibilities such as dental work, X-rays, and lab work and provide a generous CPD allowance for your personal development.

Pets just see people. They arent biased and they dont discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience dont perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
