Join a genuinely independent practice where work-life balance actually means something. No on-call, no Sundays, competitive salary, and up to six weeks leave to recharge.
Pet Practice's brand-new Basingstoke surgery is looking for a skilled Registered Veterinary Nurse or experienced Student Veterinary Nurse to join a supportive, forward-thinking team. This is a full-time position offering a five-day week with every other Saturday morning shift. The role comes with genuine work-life balance: no on-call duties, no Sunday working, and no bank holiday shifts.
The practice sits in the busy Chineham Retail Park adjacent to Pets Corner, serving a strong client base in a well-equipped modern facility. You'll work alongside experienced colleagues in a small animal environment, with access to digital radiography, ultrasonography, Idexx in-house laboratory, and dedicated surgical facilities.
Pet Practice is an independent, family-owned veterinary group with thirteen practices across the UK. Established fifteen years ago, the group operates with a philosophy of investing all income back into staff packages and facilities rather than prioritising profit extraction. The practice operates major facility refits across all clinics every ten years and is committed to remaining genuinely independent without restricting staff through joint venture or hidden clauses.
The Basingstoke location is a newly constructed modern surgery with comprehensive small animal facilities. The practice is led by owner Ben Johnson, who is actively involved in day-to-day operations and genuinely listens to team feedback. Staff loyalty is built on mutual respect, flexible rotas, and working arrangements tailored to individual needs.
