We are an experienced and progressive team who work together to provide the highest standard of veterinary care within a safe and supportive environment.

Our nursing team is vital to ensure the smooth running of the practice. We offer a varied rota which includes theatre, consultations, radiography, lab work, triage appointments and inpatient care. Nurse consultations are a minimum of 15 minutes long, with admin and ‘catch-up’ time built into the diary also. We encourage further development and offer an annual CPD budget of £500.

• Have excellent customer service and communication skills
• Work closely with the rest of the team to deliver the highest standard of patient and client care.
• Take ownership for tasks and responsibilities.
• Comply with all policies and procedures.
