Small Animal Registered Veterinary Nurse
We have an exciting opportunity for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly team, providing care to our patients and assisting the veterinary team in all aspects of nursing care.
Larkmead is an independent busy first-opinion mixed practice based in South Oxfordshire.
The ideal candidate will be highly motivated, hardworking, kind, and compassionate. You should be able to work well as part of a team and individually and keen to provide a great service to all of our patients and clients.
As an expanding practice, we are developing a career pathway for our nursing team and welcome applications from nurses of all levels, keen to join our supportive environment. There are plenty of opportunities available to expand your experience and skills, working with our veterinary team and directly with our clients, supporting them with animal care through our nurse clinics.

The role is full time, 40 hours per week (including some nights and weekends on a rota basis with time off in lieu). Part-time may be considered.
