The Role

Do you care about patients and their people?

Do you want to balance your work and your home life with a fab team of people around you?

Then come and join our nursing team at Crieff Vets.

We value your work-life balance so we outsource our OOH and you will only need to do 1 in every 4 Saturday mornings (8:30 am – 12 pm). Your working week can be flexible to fit around your life, we’re open 8 am to 7 pm and can consider full-time, part-time & flexible hours.

Working within a hands-on progressive 1st opinion practice with a close-knit team of vets, RVN’s, ACA’s, receptionists & dedicated cleaners means you can utilise your nursing skills and be the nurse you trained to be. Whilst we don’t currently have a head nurse (it’s just not the way our team rolls), there is huge scope here for the right person to lead and develop their career into a coaching and leadership position.

The salary is up to £30,000 negotiable D.O.E & relocation allowance of up to £5,000!
