Are you a dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse with a passion for inpatient care and emergency & critical care?

We have an exciting opportunity for you at our brand-new, state-of-the-art 24/7 veterinary hospital in Teesside, Stockton-on-Tees.

Join us as a Night Registered Veterinary Nurse and become an integral part of a team committed to delivering exceptional veterinary care—when pets and their families need it most. You’ll care for inpatients overnight, support in theatre, triage urgent cases, and assist with emergency procedures. And because we believe high-quality care should be accessible, our out-of-hours consultation fee is just £79.

Our new hospital is set to feature 9 spacious consulting rooms, 3 fully equipped operating theatres, a diagnostic suite, digital X-ray, a dedicated dental suite, and an isolation unit. We also provide separate cat and dog wards for low-stress patient care, along with a central prep area to support efficient clinical workflow. Designed to deliver first opinion, referral, and out-of-hours care, our facility brings high-quality veterinary services to pets in the surrounding community.

At Animal Trust, you'll find a supportive and inclusive culture that values each individual's contribution. We operate without hierarchy, fostering an environment where every team member contributes to our shared commitment to clinical excellence.

About animal Trust

Animal Trust stands out from other veterinary services. Firstly, we are a unique Community Interest Company, being the only veterinary CIC in the UK to date. Our primary focus isn't solely on maximising profits; instead, we are dedicated to delivering on our mission and ensuring enough profit to sustain our business in the long term. 

Our vision is clear: No pet should go untreated or face euthanasia when there is a viable treatment option. We firmly believe that pet ownership should be accessible to all, acknowledging that individuals earning the Real Living Wage may encounter challenges in affording veterinary care when their pet falls ill. In response, we aim to assist. Our free consultations and transparent pricing enable our vets and nurses to break down the barriers that stand in the way of pets receiving the treatment they need
