Registered Veterinary Nurse

Job Description

Calling all RVNs – Your next adventure starts here! 
Are you an RVN looking for an exciting new challenge in a growing practice where your hard-earned skills and passions will truly shine? Look no further! We’ve got an amazing opportunity for a qualified nurse to join our Milton Keynes team, where you’ll be delivering outstanding care to the highest standard 
 
Why join us? 
At Milton Keynes Vets for Pets, pets and their people come first. Our incredible team of 40+ colleagues . We are 25 years old this year and we are super proud that together we have created a diverse, welcoming environment where emotional wellbeing is just as important as delivering exceptional pet care. 

We regularly celebrate individual and team achievements with awards, rewards, and plenty of fun social events throughout the year. Plus, we’re all about helping you grow – from regular practice and clinical meetings to encouraging you to pursue your specific areas of interest. 

Our people are a priority, and this is reflected in our inclusive and welcoming team (9 vets and 13 RVNs/VCA & SVNs). Our progressive attitude keeps us fresh and current, for example we are proud to be one of only a handful of practices in the UK to be awarded the Green Investors in the Environment award.  

2025 is going to be huge for us as we embark on a major expansion! The new space will include larger, dedicated dog and cat wards, a state-of-the-art dentistry suite, a specialized diagnostic imaging room, and additional office space to support our growing team. Most excitingly, we’re introducing a cutting-edge CT and control room featuring the brand-new IMVi GE Revolution ACT system. This expansion marks a significant step forward, and we’re thrilled to share this journey with our team and clients. It’s truly a fantastic time to join us as there will be even more opportunity to grow in new areas or specialisms (if that’s your thing). If not, we still need well-rounded RVNs to work in all key nursing areas! 

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, we already have some fantastic tools to help you deliver amazing care: K-laser, HT Vista, dental X-ray, syringe driver, flexible and rigid endoscopy, laparoscopy, nerve stimulator, Logic R8 ultrasound, and more. Our spacious setup includes six consult rooms, two theatres, prep rooms, and a dedicated colleague room. 
 
About you and the role 
We are in a fortunate position where we can offer you either full or part time hours. Whatever you’re looking for, we invite you to come and talk to us about what works for you and your lifestyle, whether that be a 4 day week or even hours to work around childcare, we can be flexible and will try our best to accommodate what you’re looking for. Our location is super convenient, with a central spot in a modern retail park, free onsite parking, and a nearby train station. Prefer to cycle? We’ve got a cycle-to-work scheme too! 

Whether you’re a newly qualified RVN looking for your first role in a practice you can really learn and thrive, or an experienced nurse ready to take your career to the next level, we’d love to hear from you! We’ll support you every step of the way and we actively encourage our RVNs to take on Schedule 3 responsibilities such as dental work, Xray’s, and lab, as well as providing a generous CPD allowance for your personal development. If there is a certain area of nursing you have a particular passion for, we are more than happy to see how we can support you with this too! 
 
What’s in it for you? 
By joining us you will be part of a dynamic team dedicated to providing superb standards.  We offer a supportive and friendly working environment together with career development opportunities and an excellent package and benefits that includes; 

• A competitive salary of £28,000 - £33,000 FTE and DOE

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
