Come and join us at Moy Vets - you'll be working with a fantastic team with a supportive culture across 2 purpose-built sites at Norcross Lane (Thornton) and Hambleton close to the Fylde Coast in Lancashire. We're close to the beach, and less than an hour from the Lake District, and larger city's / airports like Liverpool and Manchester so you'll have plenty of choice in how to spend your free time.

Fix or flex – find your perfect balance 


We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it brilliantly easy for you to strike the right balance. Whether you are looking to fix or flex your work patterns, we can find the right solution for you. Our Nurses usually work their 38 hours over 4 days, however, we are happy to discuss working patterns as we understand how important a good work/life balance is. There is a share of 1 in 8 weekends (Sat & Sun on-call), plus additional Saturday morning. There is a midweek on call rota based roughly on 4 weeks with a midweek night on call, and 4 weeks without.

About the team


We're a team focused on development with certificate holders and those working towards advanced qualifications forming part of our 14 RVN / 5 ACA nursing team. Our nurses also work alongside a Vet team of 10 and support team of 15. We value and utilise the skills of our nursing team highly and so offer established nurse clinics with support for further development, nurse-led dental staging, K-laser, and are currently developing nurse-led Schedule 3 ops days for those nurses in our team wanting to develop their Schedule 3 skill further.  We also provide our own OOH's service for our clients and so we regularly see a range of emergency cases. 
We have previously been a training practice for nurses and so if you are a 2nd year student we're also interested in meeting you. Our nursing team includes several nurses who have been in the Moy family for over 20 years, as well as several clinical coaches who enjoy supporting others in their development.
