At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
We are looking for a compassionate and motivated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Vet on the Hill.
Vet on the Hill opened its doors in Caterham in 2014. The same two vets who unlocked the practice on that very first morning are still here today, alongside the Head Nurse who stood with them from the start.
Over the years, the team has grown around them — partners, children, friends, and colleagues who care for one another as thoughtfully as they care for their patients. We are part of inspiring vet care, which provides the resources and support of a larger organisation behind the scenes, while allowing us to retain the close-knit, community feel that has always defined the practice.
Today, Vet on the Hill is a thriving, modern small animal practice in Caterham, Surrey. With excellent access to the M25 and London, and the beautiful Surrey Hills on our doorstep, we offer the best of both convenience and location.
