We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Lakeside Vets. We are flexible with hours and happy to accommodate part-time schedules, with no out-of-hours requirements. As a host practice for Vets Now, our partnership has been incredibly successful-our patients have greatly benefited, and our staff has enjoyed the advantages as well.
We are particularly open to candidates with specific areas of interest and are committed to supporting career development. This is a growth-focused recruitment, not a replacement, as we continue to expand our practice.
If you're looking to be part of a dynamic and supportive team, we'd love to hear from you!

With new equipment and exciting building developments underway, it’s an exciting time to join us.
