Vacancy: Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN)

Exciting and rare opportunity – Small Animal Nurse post in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

We are an Independent Small Animal Practice in the beautiful market town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire. We are looking for an RVN to become part of our highly-experienced and friendly 3-vet, 3-RVN nurse team. 

Ideally you will have at least two to three years VN PQE but we are open to hearing from candidates with less or more experience and we recruit on personality, aptitude and attitude rather than qualification. With your gently confident animal-handling skills, pleasant and professional communication style with colleagues and clients, you love working as a nurse. 

The Practice offers:

  • Airy and spacious facilities, professionally designed to ensure a pleasant and relaxing environment for both humans and pets.
  • A general small-animal caseload
  • An emphasis on excellence in diagnostic and surgical skills and care
  • Shift times that are sympathetic to a good work-life balance.
  • Good Saturday Rota: 1 working weekend in 3 (Saturday morning 8:30AM to 1:00PM)
  • Exceptionally lovely clients who champion our high quality work-ups, excellent facilities and individual care
  • Salary commensurate with experience. Benefits: Good CPD funding; professional membership & RCVS registration.
  • Out-Of-Hours with VetsNow

Working hours: You will have a core 32.5 hour working week made up of 6.5 hour regular shift pattern spread over 5 days, plus a 1:3 Saturday shift of 4.5 hours. Flexibility to cover additional core surgery hours when colleagues are absent is essential.

The practice opening hours are 0830 to 1900 Monday to Friday and 0900 to 1300 on Saturdays with an early and late nursing shift pattern every day.

The Practice and its location:  We are situated within easy walking distance of the bustling town centre, recently voted one of England’s top four happiest towns.

The pleasant 20 minute walk to the town centre takes you past some award-winning schools, the local Nuffield Hospital and through the Kingsland Valley, a protected urban nature reserve.

Shrewsbury has a lively river life – park cafes & gastro-pubs intermingled with rowing clubs, acres of beautiful parkland, and a riverside theatre. The town centre has a fab arthouse cinema, a University and lively restaurant scene. Excellent sports facilities within five minutes walking distance of the Practice. Shrewsbury is no sleepy backwater but a vibrant county town punching well above its weight in terms of access to all aspects of cultural life.

Shrewsbury is well connected to key motorways and has direct rail links (1 hour) to Birmingham International Airport and England’s “second cities” Birmingham and Manchester.
