Job description

Registered Veterinary Nurse

Fernside Veterinary Centre

Location: Borehamwood, Hertfordshire

Practice Type: First opinion

Competitive Salary: Dependent on experience

Rota: Permanent, Full time or Part time

At CVS, caring is what we do. As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, you'll be at the heart of promoting pet wellness—monitoring patients’ health, supporting their recovery, and offering reassurance to the people who love them. Because for us, caring isn't just a job—it’s in our nature.

We put our people first—because when you're supported, you can deliver the very best care. With industry-leading learning, hands‑on training, and guidance, you'll have everything you need to grow your skills and confidence. Whether you're looking to progress in your current role or explore new career pathways, CVS is the place to nurture your future career.

Life at Fernside Veterinary Centre

We would love to have another RVN join us! Fernside has a strong team of experienced, conscientious vets, friendly receptionists, 2 RVNs and 2 student RVN's. The RVC does all our OOH.

We are open to a wide range of experience and can be flexible on hours. If you wanted to combine a little management with nursing, that would be an option too. As we are part of CVS, we have a much bigger support network for training and development.

Client and patient care matter enormously to us and please take the time to read through the feedback on our Facebook page (Fernside Vet) to get a feel for our ethos. Salary is truly dependent on experience.

Our practice site is loved in Borehamwood, a bustling town in southern Hertfordshire, located about 12 miles northwest of Central London. Steeped in a rich film and TV heritage since the 1920s, it balances suburban life with commuter convenience.

• Ensure quality is maintained by keeping our practice in excellent condition—ensuring quality of care and the best possible outcomes for every patient.
• Learn, develop and grow with us, taking advantage of ongoing training and development opportunities offered by CVS and our practice.
• Contribute to creating a positive environment, fostering a friendly, welcoming and supportive team culture.
• Communicate with confidence, using your exceptional communication skills—both written and verbal—to build strong, lasting relationships with colleagues, clients, and the pets they love.
