Clinical Nurse Manager - Small Animal

Job Overview

An experienced Clinical supervisor is a must who can support our wonderful SVN's through their training. The role will allow for great clinical exposure and the opportunity to work amongst a friendly and supportive team. We provide a varied working day for our nursing team, duties depend on the shift but include anaesthetic monitoring, care of inpatients, nurse consultations, drug dispensing, lab work, and maintaining a sterile work environment.

This is a prestigious role offering an excellent opportunity for the right nurse to lead a large group of nurses and support staff. We are looking for a nurse who has previous proven leadership skills, excellent clinical and communication skills with a drive to maintain high standards.

The working week will be 27 hours: 5 days a week 1 in 4 Saturdays 8am-4.30pm, with no OOH. Our long‑established practice is a Small Animal Veterinary Group based in Woking, Bagshot, and Addlestone. As a progressive practice, we recently relocated to our brand new, purpose‑built practice in Woking, and continue to invest to refurbish and equip our other 2 practices to the same high standard.

The practices maintain state‑of‑the‑art clinical equipment such as dental radiography, Virtual Veterinary equipment (VVS), visiting specialist surgeons for orthopaedics, laparoscopic spays and much more. We also have a purpose‑built grooming salon at our main site. One of the most important things to us here at Lynton is our history and local "Village Vet" reputation for providing the highest level of service and value for all our clients.

Therefore, we have a loyal client base and a gold‑standard reputation across the local community.

Join our supportive team. We have 9 Veterinary Surgeons across the group who are supported by a great team of 9 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 3 Student Veterinary Nurses, ANAs and experienced Receptionists. We have a teamwork culture in practice and have embedded true support amongst the team. Each practice has an essential SOS chocolate station, and we are never short of cake with some excellent bakers across the group.

The mental and physical well‑being of the team is paramount to us – we like to show our support both in‑house and externally by taking part in charity events such as "Ride for Dementia" and "Relay for Life" in aid of cancer research.
