Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
Are you an RVN looking for a fresh opportunity in a fun, supportive, and skillful team? Do you enjoy surgical and medical case management, diagnostics, and being part of a friendly, forward-thinking environment? Cheshire Pet Sandbach is now hiring! We're on the lookout for a lovely RVN to join our fantastic team across our Winterley and Elworth clinics near Sandbach.
This is a varied nursing role within a busy first opinion practice, offering a mix of surgical nursing, inpatient care, diagnostics and imaging, and consulting. You’ll work closely with a dedicated team of Vets, RVNs, SVNs, and support staff who truly care about patient outcomes, and each other. We’re passionate about nurturing areas of interest and supporting your development.
Work Schedule
Our flexible approach supports a real work-life balance. The standard rota is 37.5 hours over 5 days (shifts between 8:00am – 7:15pm), with patterns such as 8am–4pm, 11am–7pm, 8:30am–4:30pm, and 9:30am–5:30pm.
* Part-time or 4-day weeks will be considered.
* Saturday mornings are on a shared rota (currently 1 in 6).
* Inpatient checks are shared among nurses, although they are rarely required.
* There are no out-of-hours, as this is covered by Vets Now.
About Our Practice
Our modern and well-equipped practice offers a progressive, supportive workplace with staff wellbeing at its core. We’re proud of our ISFM Silver Cat Friendly status and purpose-designed feline-only clinic, along with an impressive range of facilities including:
CT Scanner, digital and dental radiography, endoscopy, ultrasound, in-house blood analysis and multiparameter monitoring.
Located in a semi-rural setting near the M6, our Sandbach base blends peaceful surroundings with great transport links.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a warm, confident RVN who enjoys variety and collaboration. Whether you’re newly qualified or bring years of experience, if you’re a team player with a passion for delivering excellent patient care and client service, we’d love to hear from you.
Why Join Us?
At Cheshire Pet Sandbach, we are a fun, supportive and skilful team and we take pride in allowing individuals to thrive and contribute to patient and client care in their own unique way. As a practice, we believe in giving our RVNs real job satisfaction, whether it be that this comes from being a consulting nurse helping to deliver the best preventative and chronic condition management, leading our nurse-led diagnostics, monitoring and adapting anaesthesia and analgesia plans, providing excellent medical inpatient care, or performing schedule 3 surgeries.
