Job description

Registered Veterinary Nurse - Altrincham Vets for Pets

Salary: £30,000-£34,000 DOE | Full-time, 40 hours

At Altrincham Vets for Pets, we’re not just filling a rota - we’re building the best first‑opinion practice in Altrincham.

We’ve recently expanded into a modern, spacious site with 5 consult rooms, 2 theatres, dedicated recovery spaces, a study area and a large rest room. We have new technology arriving shortly including a HT Vista scanner. We’ve got a strong team, clear leadership, and the ambition to raise the standard of what a first‑opinion practice can be. Now we need the right nurse to join us.

This is your chance to step into a role where your skills will be trusted, your input will be valued, and your career will be supported.

Why you should join us

• Modern facilities designed to let you do your best work every day.
• Nursing leadership you can trust: Jo our Head RVN, who holds an Advanced Nursing Certificate, leads on clinical standards and coaching.
• Real autonomy: if we give you a patient and a plan, you’ll be trusted to see it through.
• A balanced rota: no on‑call, no Sundays, breaks and admin time built into the diary.
• A culture that listens: regular nurse meetings, open clinical discussions, and genuine support for special interests and certificates.

Who we’re looking for

• A confident, clinically excellent RVN with strength in anaesthesia, inpatient care and all‑round nursing.
• An experienced RVN with a minimum of 3 years post qualification experience.
• Independent under pressure, reliable, and able to work under your own steam.
• A team player who values both collaboration and autonomy.
• Someone who wants to grow with us – whether that’s pursuing a certificate, developing a specialism, or shaping the way we work.

The package

• £30,000‑£34,000 DOE
• Company pension scheme
• 5.6 weeks’ holiday (rising to 6.6 after 2 years)
• RCVS & BVNA fees paid
• CPD fully supported (certificates encouraged)
• Reward hub with discounts, cashback, and cycle‑to‑work scheme

Why wouldn’t you apply?

This is more than just another RVN job. It’s a chance to be part of a practice with ambition, modern facilities, and a leadership team who understand what nurses need to thrive.
