Overview
We’re looking for a full-time qualified Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly and dedicated team at Welwyn Garden City. This is a thriving 2-Vet practice supported by 2 RVNs, a VCA, and CCA. The practice is open Monday to Saturday and sees a wide range of cases, including routine procedures, dentals, lump removals, heart scans, and more. The in-house x-ray, biochemistry, and haematology facilities provide an excellent setup for delivering high-quality care.

The rota is a 4-day working week with 9.5-hour shifts, plus a 1 in 6 weekend rota at our Enfield 24-Hour Hospital, alternating between early and late shifts.
