An exciting opportunity for an experienced RVN to take the next step in their career

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Head RVN to lead a fantastic nursing team at a well-established, modern veterinary practice in Bristol.

This role has become available due to the relocation of the current Head Nurse, creating an exciting opportunity for someone looking to take on a leadership position within a supportive and progressive team.

• Engaging, approachable and supportive

• Passionate about delivering exceptional patient care

• Keen to support the ongoing professional development of RVNs, student nurses and VCAs

• Organised and able to thrive in a busy clinical environment

Previous leadership or senior nursing experience would be advantageous, but we’re also keen to hear from experienced RVNs who are ready to take the next step into a leadership role.

The role

• Salary: £34,000 – £42,000 depending on experience

• Working pattern: 4 days per week

• Shifts: 9-hour shifts

What you’ll be joining

The practice has recently undergone an impressive refurbishment, making excellent use of the clinical areas to create a smooth workflow and support the delivery of outstanding patient care.

The team has a broad range of clinical interests and specialisms, with many colleagues working towards additional certificates to further develop their skills and expand the services available to patients.

This is a great opportunity to join a team where clinical development, collaboration and high standards of care are genuinely valued.
