Avenues Veterinary Clinic is offering a supportive start for a newly qualified RVN or someone in the first few years of their nursing career. The rota includes a four-day week, one fixed weekday off and no OOH or on-call shifts.
No out-of-hours or on-call shifts. Saturday mornings are 8.30am to 12.30pm, currently one in four and moving to one in five with the new nurse in place.
Your next step as an RVN could be with a close-knit, independent small animal practice that values support, confidence building and proper teamwork. This role is aimed at a newly qualified nurse, or someone in the first few years of their nursing career, with encouragement to learn and settle in from day one.
You will be joining a small, welcoming team in Watford, with experienced colleagues around you including a Practice Manager who is also an RVN and clinical coach, a Head Nurse, and two other vets. The practice has a clear focus on thoughtful, personalised care for patients and long-term relationships with clients.
The rota is built around work-life balance, with a 36.5-hour week across four weekdays, a fixed weekday off, and Saturday mornings on a one-in-five basis when you join. There are no out-of-hours or on-call shifts, and the practice is closed on Sundays and bank holidays.
Avenues Veterinary Clinic is a proudly independent, RCVS-accredited, family and vet-owned small animal practice in Watford. It was established in 1990 and has built a loyal local client base through personal, compassionate care.
The practice is led by David, who took ownership in 2020, and the team also includes Gemma, Genna, Sarah as Practice Manager and clinical coach, and Head Nurse Krissy. The culture is described as supportive, team-focused and personal, with a strong emphasis on looking after both pets and colleagues.
