Job description

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, team-orientated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Wendover Heights Vets.

Located in the beautiful market town of Wendover, on the edge of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, our practice has been providing high-quality veterinary care for over 40 years. Set within a two-acre site, we have a spacious main hospital, a standalone cat clinic and a separate equine facility. This role will focus exclusively on our small animal team.

We’re a busy, friendly team of 48, including 12 FTE vets and 12 FTE nurses, alongside our dedicated reception and administrative teams. Our facilities include a large, well-equipped clinical space, hydrotherapy and physiotherapy services, and a dedicated cat clinic. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming and supportive working environment, even providing lunch for the team every day!

You’ll enjoy a varied role, rotating across theatre, kennels, front of house and prescriptions, as well as supporting our vets during consultations. This is a great opportunity to develop your skills across different areas of the practice while working alongside an experienced and supportive team.
