We have an excellent opportunity for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our amazing team of  Registered Veterinary Nurses and 1 Student Veterinary Nurses at East Grinstead Vets in West Sussex.

Find a place to excel


We are a busy, small animal practice in beautiful East Grinstead with satellite branches in Crawley and Copthorne with good transport links to London and Brighton. We are lucky enough to have the Ashdown Forest on our doorstep providing a great place for walking and enjoying spectacular views.

We have a varied caseload ranging from routine surgery to orthopaedics and are well equipped with an internal lab, multi-parameter, ultrasound, digital x-ray, K-Laser, and multiple endoscopes. We are a well-established training practice who encourage our nurses to train as Clinical Coaches to assist our student nurses in reaching their full potential.

Find a team that cares


We have a friendly team of 5 Vets including 2 surgical certificate holders and 4 Nurses, some of which can often be found trying their hand at an escape room, partaking in quiz nights, and enjoying a summer BBQ! We have a truly encouraging and supportive culture here at East Grinstead and as a result have a close-knit team.
