Ready to join a friendly, well-organised practice where your clinical development is actively encouraged? Cotton Lane Veterinary Clinic in Bury St Edmunds is looking for an RVN who wants supportive teamwork, modern facilities, and genuine career progression.
Saturday mornings only: one Saturday in every 12-week period at Bury St Edmunds (time off in lieu); one Saturday in every 12-week period at Thetford Surgery (paid at enhanced rate). No overnight or on-call duties.
You'll join a 5-strong nursing team at Cotton Lane Veterinary Clinic, a friendly small animal practice with a genuine commitment to professional development. This is an ideal opportunity whether you're launching your RVN career or seeking a supportive environment that values your progression. The role runs 37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday based at the Bury St Edmunds branch, with a straightforward rota involving Saturday mornings once per 12-week cycle at your base surgery (time off in lieu) plus one Saturday per 12-week cycle at their Thetford sister surgery (paid at an enhanced rate).
The practice runs nurse-led clinics daily covering routine health checks, second vaccinations, post-operative check-ups and weight clinics. You'll work alongside a team of 3 veterinary surgeons with typically two vets managing procedures and consultations while a third focuses on consultations only. The clinical environment includes two operating theatres, a tub table, multiparameter monitors and doppler equipment. The team holds regular clinical and branch meetings to maintain high standards while keeping client care personal and friendly.
