Are you an experienced RVN ready to take the next step in leadership? We're looking for a dynamic Nurse Manager to lead and support our brilliant nurse teams across Forest and Lakeside Vets.
In this unique cross-site role, you'll have the support of two Senior Nurses, support development, maintain high clinical standards, and play a key role in creating a positive, collaborative culture. You'll work closely with the Practice Director and Clinical Leads to ensure the nursing team thrives — and that we deliver outstanding patient care every day.
This is a great opportunity for someone who loves developing people, improving systems, and helping practices grow stronger through great leadership.
About the role
This is a strategic, high-impact leadership role offering real autonomy and the opportunity to make a visible difference. You'll work across two busy, evolving practices and play a key role in shaping the culture and direction of the wider Area team.
It’s a chance to lead meaningfully, influence change, and grow within a supportive and forward-thinking environment.
Working hours/rota
This is a full-time position working 40 hours across 5 days per week, with participation in the shared Saturday rota.
What we are looking for
We’re looking for a qualified RVN with proven leadership experience—someone who is approachable, organised, and confident working with people. You’ll be passionate about clinical standards and equally invested in building a positive, supportive team culture.
