Registered Veterinary Nurse

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) to join our friendly and welcoming team at Exeter Vets for Pets. We’re a supportive, close‑knit small animal practice dedicated to providing exceptional care for our patients and a positive, collaborative environment for our team.

You’ll be joining a dedicated and supportive team of four Vets, eight Registered Veterinary Nurses, and our brilliant Student Nurse, along with our Administrator and Business Manager, who is also an RVN. Among our nursing team, two hold Certificates in Dentistry and Anaesthesia, reflecting our commitment to clinical excellence and ongoing professional development.

By joining us, you’ll have the opportunity to use your nursing skills to their full potential – from admitting patients and monitoring anaesthetics to recovery and discharge. You’ll be fully involved in all aspects of patient care, with valuable assistance from our Student Veterinary Nurse, who helps with theatre turnaround and patient preparation.

This is a rare opportunity to join a practice that has recently welcomed a new Practice Owner who is passionate about developing a positive, enjoyable working culture. You’ll have the freedom to shape the future direction of the practice and make a genuine impact within the local community. With excellent facilities, a supportive team, and the unique charm of both rural and coastal living, this role truly offers the best of all worlds.

To apply, you’ll have solid all‑round nursing experience and excellent client care skills. You’ll be cheerful, down‑to‑earth, and enthusiastic, with a genuine passion for animal welfare and a desire to be part of a supportive, close‑knit team.

This is a Full‑Time role working 40 hour per week with 1 in 4 weekends.

In return, we can offer you:

• Competitive salary up to £30,000
• No OOH or overnight in patient checks
• Generous CPD and Certificates encouraged
• Social events and emphasis on wellbeing
• Contributary pension schemes
• Paid memberships (RCVS, BVNA, VDS)
• Exclusive company and high street discounts and rewards

If you share our passion for delivering outstanding pet healthcare and great customer service, then we would love to hear from you!

Benefits: In return, we offer such benefits as 20% discount at the Vet Group, Pets at Home and the Groom Room, access to discounts and cashbacks, in‑house career development opportunities, pension and holiday allowance.
