Head Registered Veterinary Nurse

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 a knowledgeable, confident Head Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Alphavets on a full-time basis.

Since opening in 1996, Alpha Vets has continually invested in providing excellent facilities for both our patients and our team. We’re also excited to be relocating our Risca branch to a brand-new, purpose-built practice at the end of 2026.

You’ll work collaboratively with Veterinary Surgeons and the wider practice team across our Risca and Langstone sites, taking responsibility for a varied first opinion caseload and contributing to high clinical standards throughout the practice.

How You’ll Make a Difference

As a Head Veterinary Nurse, you’ll play a key role in maintaining our high clinical standards, supporting and developing colleagues, and ensuring exceptional care for our patients and clients.

Working closely with the wider management team, you’ll help drive the success of the practice, champion continuous improvement and foster a positive, collaborative team culture. As a practice that hosts Vets Now, you’ll also have the opportunity to build strong working relationships with their team, supporting effective collaboration and continuity of care. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced RVN ready to take the next step in their leadership journey and make a real difference across both branches.

This role offers up to £2,500 in relocation support and welcome bonus.
