Job description

We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse with a ‘little bit of extra’ to join our Ayr clinic. Our clinical team has a wealth of experience, and you will have the full support of two senior nurses, a clinical nurse manager, and our RVN business partner who ‘gets you’.

At Vets4Pets Ayr, we believe in the development of our nurses, as evidenced across our three practice team. We have nurses trained in acupuncture, pain management, behaviour, and schedule 3 surgical procedures. Our nursing team is empowered to excel—whether building client relationships through clinics, monitoring anaesthetics, or providing first-class patient care to in-patients. We also listen to our nurses, which is why we have invested in some advanced equipment—read on to find out more!

A little bit about us

We have four partners across our three practices: two vets, an RVN, and a practice manager. This structure allows us to advocate for each role within our practices and sets us apart from our competitors. We understand and support you.

With fifty colleagues across three practices, we strive daily to deliver clinical excellence and create the best possible client experience. Our approach is rooted in teamwork and our core values: treating others as we wish to be treated, supporting each other, having fun, communicating effectively, encouraging growth, and maintaining work-life balance. We tailor our packages and rotas to each individual to make your experience personal.

More about our clinical team

Our team includes twelve Vets and twelve RVNs, bringing extensive experience—among them, 62 years’ worth of nursing experience in one practice alone! We have GPD-trained Clinical Leads and clinical coaches, reflecting our passion for training and development. We aim to be industry leaders and stand out from competitors.

What we want from you

If you’ve been qualified for some time, we want you to still have your nursing mojo, be passionate about the industry, and eager to make a difference. If you’re newly qualified, you should be keen to learn, progress, and demonstrate exceptional nursing skills. We value team players who aren’t afraid to get involved, bring energy, and create a positive environment—plus, enjoy a good team night out!

Freedom and progression

You will have access to advanced equipment such as a multi-parameter monitor, fluid pump, blood pressure monitor, and ultrasound. Our supportive team offers opportunities for career progression within our growing practices if you’re ambitious and eager to climb the ladder.

• Pension
• AXA private healthcare (including family extension)
• Company benefits: 20% off Pets at Home and Vet Group
• Salary up to £34,000 DOE
