Registered Veterinary Nurse – Alma Veterinary Hospital
A place where nurses are valued, supported and able to do the job they trained for
Alma Veterinary Hospital is excited to welcome a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) to our genuinely friendly, kind and supportive team. We are a practice that truly believes happy staff create happy patients — and that belief shapes everything we do.
This is a role for a nurse who wants to be trusted, listened to and respected, in a workplace where your wellbeing matters just as much as your clinical skills.
We don’t do blame, hierarchy or “just get on with it” culture — we work together, support one another and celebrate the wins, big and small.
Why Alma is different
Many RVNs feel burnt out, under-used or unheard. At Alma, we are proud to offer something different:
• Nurses are genuinely valued and have a strong voice in how the practice runs
• No-blame, supportive culture – we help each other grow, not tear each other down
• Proper nursing – you will be encouraged to use the full range of your skills
• A calm, organised working day where patient care comes first
• Kind, loyal clients and a lovely team atmosphere
• Many of our nurses have stayed for years because they feel respected and happy here
We aim to create a workplace where you can enjoy being a nurse again.
State-of-the-art hospital
You will be working in a well-equipped, modern hospital that allows you to practise gold-standard nursing:
• Separate dog and cat areas to reduce stress
• Multiple consult rooms
• Dedicated imaging suite
• Fully equipped prep and theatre
• In-house laboratory
• Modern anaesthesia and monitoring
• Dental X-ray
• DR X-ray
• Endoscopy
• Laparoscopic surgery
This means real involvement in diagnostics, surgery and patient care — not just holding animals.
Your role
This is a true general nursing role, giving you variety, autonomy and the chance to fully use your skills.
You will be involved in:
• Theatre and anaesthesia
• Nurse consults and clinics
• Inpatient and ward care
• Imaging and diagnostics
• Supporting medical and surgical cases
• Client communication and education
You’ll be trusted to think, contribute ideas, and make a difference — not just follow instructions.
Hours and rota
We know work-life balance matters.
• Shifts between 8am and 7pm
• One night shift per week
• 1 in 6 weekends
• We are happy to consider a 4-day working week (pro-rata)
• Fair, planned rota with proper rest and recovery time
We work hard to keep the rota sustainable, predictable and kind.
Join our supportive team
You’ll be joining a warm, welcoming group of vets, nurses and support staff who look after one another.
You will never be made to feel silly for asking questions or speaking up.
You will find:
• Kind leadership
• A listening ear
• A safe place to learn and grow
• A team that celebrates birthdays, wins and milestones
• Protected breaks, a proper staff room and free parking
We believe that when nurses feel safe, supported and appreciated, patient care naturally thrives.
Because our people matter
We recognise that our people are fundamental to the success of our business. Investing in our people, premises and processes is at the heart of what we do. In addition to a competitive base salary, you will benefit from -
