1:3 branch Saturday rota and 1:10 hospital Sunday rotation. One bank holiday per year at Mandeville Hospital. No on-call requirements.
Chalfont St Peter practice is seeking an experienced Senior RVN to join their tight-knit team on a flexible part-time basis. This is a genuinely supportive environment where you'll work alongside 2.5 vets, excellent nursing and reception colleagues, and a regional manager with deep knowledge of the practice.

You'll work 20 to 30 hours per week with a manageable 1:3 branch Saturday rota and 1:10 hospital Sunday rotation, plus one bank holiday per year at the nearby Mandeville Hospital. Importantly, there are no on-call requirements, giving you genuine control over your schedule.
Chalfont St Peter offers the best of both worlds: rural charm and village tranquility, yet just five minutes from Gerrards Cross train station. You can reach London Liverpool Street in under 50 minutes, connecting to the rest of the city. Accommodation above the practice is available if required.
