Registered Veterinary Nurse - Reach Your Full Potential

We’re looking for someone to join our relatively small team of friendly nurses and vets on a full-time basis, here at Chatham Vets for Pets.

Reporting to our co-head nurse, Lisa and Lizzy, we're looking for someone to take on all aspects of nursing and help us maintain the strong reputation we have built over the last decade and a half.
You’ll be joining a close-knit and longstanding team of 6 Vets, 8 Nurses, and a Practice Manager as well as a fantastic Client Care Advisor team, and we’re proud of our low colleague turnover. We utilise our nurses to their full potential and are keen to upskill and grow our own talent.

We are working to create a great work/life balance for our team and constantly strive to have a better environment in practice. We also take the care of the environment seriously and we recycle everything where possible cardboard, plastic etc. The clinical team have also completed CPD on sustainable anaesthetics. This has shown us how to adapt our anaesthetic protocols to reduce the amount of anaesthetic waste products we expel into the environment whilst still keeping our patients safe.

Based on the Horsted Retail Park on the Maidstone Road, our practice is in a great location to support our clients and as such we see a wide variety of cases. We have invested considerably in our team and kit to make a number of advanced services available to our clients including ultrasound and orthopaedics.

We are looking for someone who wants to work at building relationships within our team and have a positive attitude to work and a methodical approach to the running of your day – being able to manage your time and priorities to ensure you get the work done.
You will want to develop trusting relationships with our clients to help guide them in understanding the right decisions to make when treating and caring for their pet. We want someone to maintain the bonds that we have already developed with our clients to continue the community feel we have built.

This is a full-time role and will include 1 in 4 Saturdays (8.30am-2pm) to keep it fair for everyone and provide a good work/life balance.

Benefits include:

• A salary of £31,5000 (dependant on experience, FTE)
• A generous CPD allowance (plus funding towards certificates)
• A contributory pension scheme
• In-house career development opportunity
• Paid membership fees (RCVS, VDS)
• Access to the reward hub including wellbeing support and pastoral care
• Cycle to work scheme
• 20% discount at Vets for Pets, Pets at Home and the Groom Room

Our ambition is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and we are intentional in addressing and removing barriers to create opportunities for the exceptional talent and potential in our communities. Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
