Join a friendly, progressive mixed practice in the Scottish Highlands with genuine support for recent graduates and a real commitment to clinical development. This role offers flexibility, beautiful surroundings, and a team that values both ambition and work-life balance.
1 in 6 Saturday mornings (8am to 4pm) on time-off-in-lieu basis. No overnight or night shifts mentioned.
Conanvet is seeking an RVN to join its clinical team across multiple Highland locations. This full-time position involves a 40-hour week on a shift pattern of 8-hour days Monday to Friday (8am to 8pm) plus 1 in 6 Saturday mornings (8am to 4pm) on a time-off-in-lieu basis. Part-time applicants are welcome, and the practice will work with candidates to find flexible arrangements.
You'll work primarily at the main surgeries in Conon Bridge and Dingwall, with occasional opportunities at smaller consulting branches in Fortrose, Ullapool and Gairloch. The practice is a long-established, independent, RCVS-accredited mixed animal operation, so you'll be involved in small animal nursing, farm work, and equine care. Recent graduates are very welcome and will receive structured support and training.
Conanvet has over 90 years of experience and is one of Scotland's longest-established independent veterinary practices. Based approximately 20 minutes north of Inverness in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, the practice operates from main branches in Conon Bridge and Dingwall, with satellite consulting rooms in Fortrose, Ullapool and Gairloch. The clinical team comprises 14 vets, 13 RVNs, 2 VCAs, and 3 SQPs, and the practice is RCVS-approved for training, currently mentoring VCA and veterinary nurse students.
The practice is fully equipped with DR X-ray, video endoscope, multiparameter monitoring (including capnography and ECG), hot-air warming systems, infusion pumps and syringe drivers. The caseload is busy and varied, reflecting both small animal and mixed practice demands. The location offers access to wild swimming, kayaking, skiing, hill walking and cycling, with vibrant local food, craft fairs and festivals throughout the year.
