This is a particularly attractive opportunity for an RVN considering relocation, as free accommodation is available alongside a competitive salary of up to £35,400 depending on experience and skill set.

The Role

• Full-time preferred: 38 hours across 4 days
• Fixed weekday off

Newly qualified RVNs can be considered from approximately £30,000, with experienced all-round RVNs / Senior RVNs able to earn £35,000+.

FREE ACCOMMODATION

A major benefit of this position is free accommodation.

The practice is currently purchasing a lovely three-bedroom bungalow located close to the practice.

The property may occasionally be shared with visiting locums or another veterinary nurse, although at present it would be available to the successful RVN alone.

If the successful candidate joins before completion of the bungalow purchase, temporary accommodation will be provided in a lovely two-bedroom seaside flat.

This makes the opportunity particularly attractive for RVNs relocating from another part of the UK.

An Independent Practice

This is a genuinely independent veterinary practice with a long-term commitment to remaining independent.

The owner is a practising veterinary surgeon who works clinically alongside the team and has made it clear that she intends for the practice to remain independent throughout her veterinary career.

The practice has grown considerably since opening and has developed a substantial clinical and nursing team.

An Award-Winning Practice

The practice won Best Vet UK in its opening year and has continued to receive recognition since then.

It has developed an exceptionally loyal client base, with new clients being accepted from a waiting list.

The result is a working environment where clients value the veterinary team, appreciate the service they receive and arrive at the practice already trusting the clinicians caring for their pets.

• Registered Veterinary Nurses
