Head Veterinary Nurse- Build Your Ideal Role

Head Nurse – Lead, Inspire, Thrive

Are you an experienced leader looking to take the next step in your career? This is a unique opportunity to shape and grow within an exceptional team of nurses. As we celebrate our two year anniversary, we’re creating a new role for a Head Nurse who thrives on organisation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Our practice is modern, bright, and thoughtfully designed, offering separate cat and dog waiting areas and wards, as well as advanced facilities, including laparoscopy, dental X-ray, and CT on-site. We operate independently, giving us the freedom to make decisions that prioritise patient care, client satisfaction, and team wellbeing.

We’re proud of our team’s strong sense of identity and shared goals. Putting our people first is a core value, and every day we strive to support each other in delivering exceptional care and service.

The Role:
As Head Nurse, you’ll play a pivotal role in the organisation and planning of clinical operations, ensuring smooth workflows and optimised efficiency. While the position can be shaped to your individual strengths, key responsibilities include:

• Overseeing and supporting the nursing team in their daily activities.
• Driving continuous improvement in patient care and client experience.
• Coaching and mentoring team members to help them thrive.
• Working collaboratively with the leadership team to achieve shared goals.

We’re looking for someone who is highly organised, an excellent communicator, and passionate about team development. If you enjoy problem-solving and fostering a positive, supportive environment, this is the role for you.

What We Offer:

• 6.6 weeks of annual leave, including bank holidays.
• Contributory pension scheme.
• Health Shield membership and a generous annual Wellness Allowance.
• CPD and access to expert executive coaching to support your development.
• Paid overtime (though we value leaving on time!).
• No OOH, with opening hours of 08:30–18:30 and just 1 in 4 Saturday mornings.
• RCVS and VDS fees covered.

If you’re ready to lead an exceptional team and shape the future of our nursing care, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and take the next step in your career!
