Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
Are you a qualified or newly qualified Veterinary Nurse looking to thrive in a forward-thinking, kind, and collaborative practice? We’re looking for an RVN to join our team across our two Wolverhampton branches, Fallings Park and Penn Fields, where flexibility, growth and team wellbeing come first.
What’s the Role?
You’ll be part of a close-knit team undertaking a varied and rewarding caseload across both sites. Your day-to-day will include assisting in theatre and running nurse consultations, with plenty of opportunities to make a genuine difference to pets and their owners. We actively encourage development and offer full CPD support so you can grow your skills and interests with us.
Your Schedule
We’re proud to offer flexible rota patterns that support a healthy work-life balance. Whether you're seeking full time or part time hours, we’re happy to tailor a rota that works for you. A typical full-time role would average around 40 hours per week across 4 to 5 days, with shifts between 8:30am–6:30pm or 9:00am–7:00pm. You’ll take part in a 1 in 4 Saturday morning rota (9:00am–2:00pm), with no out-of-hours, and we’re closed on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
