About the Practice
This RCVS-accredited, purpose-built small animal training practice in County Durham is known for its friendly, inclusive, and people-first culture. The team has built an award-winning workplace where support, collaboration, and mutual respect are at the heart of everything they do.
The management team brings additional qualifications in Leadership, Management, Coaching, and Mental Health & Wellbeing, ensuring a genuinely supportive environment that nurtures professional growth and understands the realities of modern-day veterinary care.
From day one, you’ll feel part of a team that looks out for each other — both professionally and personally. As one RVN puts it:
“We’re encouraged to work in our chosen areas of interest — something I’ve never experienced anywhere else!”

You’ll join a welcoming team of 8 RVNs, 3 SVNs, 3 VCAs, and 6 Veterinary Surgeons, supported by a fantastic admin and client care team. The role includes a varied mix of:
Inpatient and hospital care
Nurse-led consultations
Anaesthesia and theatre work
Involvement in quality improvement projects
Collaboration across the clinical team
A structured career pathway supports your professional development, with current nurses specialising in areas such as behaviour, nutrition, surgical nursing, feline care, and sustainability.
The position offers 40 hours per week, though part-time applications are warmly welcomed. The team operates a balanced rota, including some inpatient OOH care, designed to maintain an excellent work-life balance.

Digital and dental X-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy
