Our 17 RVNs and 4 ACAs, and 1 student nurse work alongside a fantastic group of vets, practice managers, and receptionists. We are an RCVS-accredited practice, and our facilities include in-house blood machines, digital x-ray, dental x-ray, ultrasound, multiparameter monitoring, laser therapy, and scopes (bronchoscope and gastroscope). Life on the Moray Coast offers something truly special, from stunning beaches and scenic walks to cycling, climbing, and open-water swimming. Many of the team love making the most of the outdoors together – whether that’s braving the cold water, heading out for a hike, or winding down with a beach stroll after work. You’ll be a caring and proactive qualified RVN who thrives on being hands-on, enjoys variety, and wants to make the most of your skills. This is a full-time role with the option of:
A 5-day / 40-hour week
Our shared on-call rota is designed to be fair and manageable:
1:8 weekends – either as the primary nurse (working Saturday and Sunday), or as backup (working Saturday and then on call for the rest of the weekend).
We’re flexible about location for this role, so depending on your preferences, you can be based at either our Forres or Nairn branch, or mainly at Forres with occasional work at our Nairn and Lossiemouth branches if you’d prefer the variety.
40, depending on experience
~ Any overtime from on-call is paid in addition
~ Choice of 4- or 5-day week
~6 weeks holiday allowance, increasing with length of service
~ Generous, flexible CPD budget (with support up to certificate level)
~ Employee discount
~ If you’re looking for a role where your nursing skills will be fully valued, your professional growth encouraged, and your work-life balance supported, we’d love to hear from you!
