Registered Veterinary Nurse

Join Our Brand-New Practice and Help Shape Its Future

Are you a passionate Registered Veterinary Nurse looking for an exciting opportunity to be part of something new? Our purpose-built Whetstone Vets for Pets practice opened its doors in Summer 2025, and we're looking for an enthusiastic RVN to join us as we continue to grow.

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in developing a new practice, working alongside a supportive and forward-thinking team in a modern, well-equipped environment.

About Us

Our Practice Owner, Shweta Nakrani, graduated from The University of Liverpool in 2011 and is currently studying towards a Certificate in Veterinary Consulting (CertNCS VetCons). Shweta has a particular interest in cat-friendly practice, soft tissue surgery, and brachycephalic airway syndrome.

Shweta says: "I'm excited to build a team that thrives on collaboration, positivity and mutual support, creating a workplace where both colleagues and patients can flourish."

Our state-of-the-art surgery has been thoughtfully designed to provide exceptional clinical care while offering a comfortable and enjoyable working environment. Facilities include:

• Digital radiography


• Dedicated operating theatre


• Separate dog, cat and isolation wards


• Spacious colleague break room

As a growing practice, we're committed to supporting professional development and encouraging our team to pursue additional qualifications and CPD opportunities.

Why Whetstone?

Located in the London Borough of Barnet, Whetstone offers the perfect balance of city convenience and suburban charm. With excellent transport links into Central London, easy access to the A1 and M25, and plenty of green spaces, cafés, restaurants and local amenities, it's a fantastic place to live and work.

Working Hours

Our opening hours are:

• Monday to Friday: 9:00am - 7:00pm


• Saturday: 9:00am - 1:00pm (1 in 2 rota)

We are open to both full-time and part-time applications and are happy to discuss flexible working patterns to support a healthy work-life balance.
There are no out-of-hours requirements.

About You

We're looking for a confident and motivated Registered Veterinary Nurse who enjoys working in a progressive first-opinion environment and is committed to delivering outstanding patient and client care.

You'll be:

• A team player with a proactive attitude


• Passionate about high clinical standards


• Keen to utilise and develop your nursing skills


• Comfortable embracing all aspects of the RVN role

Experience as a Clinical Coach, or an interest in becoming one, would be advantageous but is not essential.

Most importantly, you'll be excited by the opportunity to help shape and grow a new practice from 
the ground up.

What We Offer

• Salary up to £35,000 (dependent on experience and full-time equivalent)


• Generous CPD allowance, including certificate support


• 5.6 weeks holiday, increasing to 6.6 weeks after two years' service


• Contributory pension scheme


• In-house career development opportunities


• Paid professional memberships (RCVS, BVA and VDS)


• Access to wellbeing and pastoral support services


• Cycle to Work scheme


• 20% colleague discount at Vets for Pets, Pets at Home and The Groom Room


• Employee Assistance Programmes including Retail Trust, Port of Call and Mental Health First Aid support
