About the role

 
We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly and supportive team at Woodlands Veterinary Centre. A day in the life of a WVC nurse, aside from the mandatory consumption of cakes and ice creams, would ultimately depend on the four key areas of practice: Theatre, Kennels, Prep, and Consultation. This variety keeps your day interesting and gives you as much clinical exposure as possible. 

A Day in the Life of a Woodland RVN

 
Our nurses rotate across four key areas – Theatre, Kennels, Prep, and Consultation – ensuring you gain a broad range of experience while keeping your days diverse and engaging. Led by our highly experienced Head Nurse, our team supports each other in delivering excellent care. 

We offer flexible working patterns, whether you prefer a four-day or five-day week, with shifts of either 8am–6pm or 9am–7pm (discussed at interview). With no out-of-hours and only a shared Saturday morning rota (1:8 Saturday mornings 8am–2pm, we ensure a fantastic work-life

Why join us?


Located in the stunning South Downs, Woodlands Veterinary Centre offers the best of both worlds – countryside charm with easy access to London, Heathrow, and Gatwick. Our recently refurbished kennels include separate dog and cat wards to improve patient welfare, and we are well-equipped with digital x-ray, dental x-ray, ultrasound (with cardiac and abdominal probes), laser therapy, ECG, endoscopy, and more. 

Our warm and friendly team is what truly sets us apart. We have a collaborative, supportive culture, with certificate holders who love to share their expertise. We encourage our nurses to follow their passions, and as proud partners of a local Cats Protection Adoption Centre, kitten cuddles are always part of the job! 

Who we are looking for


We welcome all levels of experience and are looking for an RVN who is kind, enthusiastic, and proactive. You should have strong interpersonal skills and a passion for all aspects of nursing, always striving to provide the best possible care for our patients. 

If you’re looking for a role where you can thrive in a supportive team, enjoy variety in your work, and have a bit of fun along the way, we’d love to hear from you!
