We’re working with a well-established, modern veterinary hospital in Berkshire that offers a genuinely diverse caseload alongside a structured, supportive team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an RVN who enjoys hands-on nursing, inpatient care, and developing their clinical skills ; all within a setting that balances responsibility with support.

This is a large, purpose-built veterinary hospital with a strong reputation for high standards of patient care and team collaboration.

• Busy first-opinion hospital with varied caseload
• Spacious, modern facilities
• Strong team structure including experienced vets and nurses

The practice also operates as a training practice, offering opportunities to become or continue as a Clinical Coach, making it ideal for nurses looking to support and mentor others.

• Theatre and surgical support
• Inpatient care and recovery
• Kennels and ward management

You’ll be part of a team that encourages clinical involvement, autonomy, and development, rather than limiting nurses to one area.

• Night duties focused on inpatients only
• After 9pm (weekdays) / 5pm (weekends), calls are diverted to an external provider
