About the job Head Veterinary Nurse – South Yorkshire
This is a step-up role with real authority — not just a title. If youre an experienced RVN ready to lead, mentor, and shape standards, this Head Veterinary Nurse position gives you the space and backing to do exactly that.
The Role
As Head Veterinary Nurse, you'll set the tone for the nursing team — clinically, professionally, and culturally. You'll still be hands-on where it matters, but with the authority to organise rotas, develop people, and raise standards across the practice.
This is a leadership role for someone who enjoys responsibility and wants their experience to genuinely count.
Key Responsibilities
* Leading, mentoring, and supporting the nursing team
* Overseeing clinical standards, workflows, and patient care
* Managing nurse rotas and supporting fair workload distribution
* Supporting vets with theatre, inpatient care, and consults
* Driving training, development, and best practice
What Were Looking For
* Registered Veterinary Nurse (RCVS)
* Previous senior or leadership experience (or ready for the step up)
* Confident, organised, and people-focused
* High clinical standards with a calm, professional approach
Why This Role Stands Out
* 4-day working week — leadership without burnout
* Genuine influence over how the practice runs
* Permanent, stable role with progression built in
