Job Description

We’re excited to be looking for a passionate and dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly team at Barnsley Cortonwood Vets for Pets.

About the Practice

Barnsley Cortonwood Vets for Pets is an established in-store practice with a loyal client base and a diverse caseload, offering an excellent opportunity to develop your nursing skills and explore your own clinical interests.

Our patients benefit from a high standard of care, with the ability to fully investigate and manage cases in-house. We actively support professional development and are committed to helping our team achieve their goals, including funding certificates and providing opportunities to expand your clinical knowledge.

We have a fantastic relationship with Barnsley Hospital, giving us access to referral services and CT scanning facilities, allowing us to provide an even greater level of care for our patients.

Our modern, purpose-built practice is spacious, well-equipped, and designed to support gold-standard veterinary care. You’ll be joining a welcoming and collaborative team made up of one Vet, two Nurses, a Practice Manager, and three Client Care Advisors, all working together with a shared passion for putting pets and their owners at the centre of everything we do.

About the Role

As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, you’ll have the opportunity to make full use of your nursing skills and play a key role in delivering exceptional patient care. Your responsibilities will include admitting patients, monitoring anaesthetics, supporting recovery, and managing discharges.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic RVN with strong general nursing experience, excellent communication skills, and a genuine passion for animal welfare. You’ll be approachable, caring, and committed to providing an outstanding experience for both pets and clients.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a nurse who wants to be part of a supportive team, continue developing professionally, and enjoy a rewarding role with a great work-life balance.

The role:

  • Part-time position working 31.87 hours per week across 3 days
  • 1-in-4 Saturday rota
  • No out-of-hours work or overnight inpatient checks

Benefits

We offer a fantastic benefits package, including:

  • Competitive salary of up to £32,000 pro rata, dependent on experience
  • Generous CPD allowance, including funded certificates
  • Paid professional memberships (RCVS, BVNA, VDS)
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Regular social events and a strong focus on wellbeing
  • Exclusive company and high-street discounts and rewards
  • 20% discount at the Vet Group, Pets at Homes, and the Groom Room
  • Access to cashback offers and additional savings
  • In-house career development opportunities
  • Generous holiday allowance

Location

Barnsley is a brilliant place to live and work, offering a great balance of town, countryside, and city life. The area is well known for its award-winning markets, museums, and galleries, while the beautiful Peak District National Park is just a short drive away.

For those who enjoy city attractions, Sheffield city centre is less than 40 minutes away. With free parking at the practice and excellent public transport links via bus and train, getting to and from work couldn’t be easier.

If you’re a Registered Veterinary Nurse looking to join a supportive practice where you can develop your skills, make a real difference, and be part of a team that genuinely cares, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and become part of the Barnsley Cortonwood Vets for Pets team.

We take our inspiration from pets in embracing people from all walks of life, and we value, respect and celebrate difference. We encourage our people to be their best selves so that we can create a better world for Pets, our planet, and People. Our ambition is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and we are intentional in addressing and removing barriers to create opportunities for the exceptional talent and potential in our communities. Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
