Registered Veterinary Nurse

About the Role

This role offers a four-day working week with a manageable 1:3 Saturday or 1:6 full weekend rota, plus a fair share of bank holidays and on-call cover. You’ll join a dedicated Lead Vet and experienced nursing team in a friendly, collaborative atmosphere where exceptional patient care is genuinely the priority.

Welling is a peaceful suburban area with real community character—tree-lined parks, independent cafes, and plenty of local amenities—yet you’re just a short commute to central London via Southeastern Rail and local buses. It’s the perfect balance for nurses who want city access without the constant rush.

The practice itself is modern and well-equipped, with digital x-ray, ultrasound, in-house lab facilities, and spacious consult and theatre rooms. This is a supportive environment built for growth and collaboration.
