Salary up to £27,000 depending on experience
Are you a passionate and caring RVN looking for a new opportunity in a thriving practice? Wellpets, a group of three small animal branches in Kent, is searching for an enthusiastic RVN to join our busy Kent branches.
Ideally, you will be an experienced nurse with a passion for small animal health and welfare. If you're ready to make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners, and you possess the skills we're seeking and a positive, can-do attitude, we would love to hear from you.
Our Nurses work 4/5 days a week covering either 8 or 10-hour shifts, however, we are dedicated to making this role flexible for the perfect candidate. You will be required to work 1:4 weekends, which are Saturdays only.

Our branches boast a well-established team of friendly and dedicated staff. Located in Kent, our practice offers easy train links to London, award-winning Blue Flag beaches, and the scenic Elmley Nature Reserve.

We have three experienced Vets, 3 Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs), and three support staff working across our three sites.
