We’re on the lookout for an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse to help us get things right from day one — someone who wants more than a job on a rota, and is drawn to the challenge of shaping a clinic, its culture and its team from scratch. Our nurses will be at the centre of all we do, the beating heart of our operation, and we’ll be proud to utilise the full breadth of their extensive knowledge and skills.
This is a rare chance to move beyond the day-to-day of nursing and into a genuine leadership role: helping design how we work, having a real say in who joins the team as we grow, and setting the standard for the kind of care we want Fleet Vets to be known for.
What we can offer
- £35,000–£40,000 per year, depending on experience
- Full-time to start (5 days), moving to a 4-day week as the team expands
- No out-of-hours shifts — just 1 in 3 Saturday mornings
- 6 weeks’ holiday a year, bank holidays included
- Healthshield cover plus a yearly Wellness Allowance
- Genuine backing for further qualifications and ongoing development
Who we’re hoping to find
An RVN with solid experience under their belt, a real passion for patient welfare, and the people skills to match — someone who’s ready to step into a leadership role and enjoys the responsibility that comes with it. You’ll cover the full range of veterinary nursing duties while also taking ownership of clinical operations, and in time, leading a small, close-knit team. Strong organisation, sound judgement and clear communication matter here, as does a mindset that’s always looking to improve how things are done. Above all, we want someone supportive by nature — the kind of person who brings out the best in the people around them. In return, you’ll have real input into your own career path and a genuine seat at the leadership table.
A bit about Fleet Vets
We’re building a practice the community can rely on — one rooted in outstanding clinical care delivered in a calm, genuinely welcoming setting. Personalised treatment and lasting relationships with clients matter to us. We know how much pets mean to the people who love them, and every patient gets the same care and consideration we’d want for our own animals. Our clinic will be light, spacious and thoroughly modern, kitted out with everything a new practice needs — and then some. None of it means anything without the right team behind it, which is exactly why finding you matters so much.
