We are rebuilding the veterinary experience from the ground up, making access to care seamless, joyful, and genuinely personal for every pet and their owner.
With beautifully designed clinics and purpose-built technology, we are transforming how veterinary care is accessed and delivered. Our clinics combine modern design with first-class clinical care, creating spaces that vet teams, clients, and pets genuinely want to be in.
Our purpose is simple: healthier, happier pets and vets. We believe in a model that benefits everyone: our clinical teams, our members, our local communities, and our investors. That means competitive compensation, sensible caseloads, genuine career development, and a culture where people feel supported to do their best work.
We’re looking for a passionate and experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly, supportive team at Creature Comforts. You’ll play a critical role in building an environment where both our patients and our people can thrive, while delivering exceptional clinical care and helping create the kind of practice experience we’re proud of.
Join our Putney clinic, a two-theatre practice with a genuinely excellent, highly skilled team and the kit to match. You'll be working alongside a dedicated dental suite with dental X-ray, digital X-ray, and a high-spec ultrasound machine with echo probe and Doppler capability. A CT scanner lands mid-October, taking our diagnostic offering even further.
Role OverviewYou will hold a veterinary nursing degree or equivalent and have demonstrable experience as a registered veterinary nurse. You will be an open, communicative team player who supports the practice's clinical and client care standards. You will be confident working independently and as part of a team, and will demonstrate excellent nursing technique, surgical etiquette, and client communication skills.
