Are you a compassionate, enthusiastic and motivated Registered Veterinary Nurse looking for a warm and welcoming team to enjoy your career with?
At Vet On The Hill, our RVNs benefit from variety, continued learning and consistent support. Our biggest perk is the team you will join - spending your days with skilled peers of qualified nurses, vets and support staff where you can safely develop your skills, deliver exceptional care to our patients as a team and both provide and receive lifelong mentorship.
Rota patterns that work for you
We can be flexible on the number of working days and hours. Talk to us about your needs and we will see what we can come up with together. For example, Saturdays can be as few as 1:5 with no OOH.
