Closing date: Sunday 29th June 2025

We’re recruiting a registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team of dedicated, talented, and outstanding veterinary professionals at our Hammersmith animal hospital. You’ll be helping to deliver excellent veterinary care for a wide range of small animals, providing both routine healthcare and managing a large number of emergencies, giving our team fantastic opportunities to develop their skills.

More about the role

Blue Cross animal hospitals and pet care clinics provide veterinary treatment to sick and injured pets when their owners can’t afford private veterinary fees. Our vet care is available to pets whose owners receive certain means-tested benefits and live within the catchment area of one of our animal hospitals or pet care clinics.

We have developed an award-winning set of clinical guidelines to assist our vets in pragmatic, evidence-based decision making, where patient welfare is a priority. High standards are important to us, but so is the ability to discuss openly where lessons have been learnt, within a safe, non-judgmental environment.

We recognise that we work within a profession where compassion fatigue is a risk to us all. We have wellbeing champions and Mental Health First Aiders at all hospitals, coordinating a range of initiatives and promoting a culture of openness and support within the team.

Working hours: This is a full time position offered on a permanent basis. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30 – 5pm. Wednesday 9-5. Hour lunchbreak. Weekend shifts will be required on a rota basis, at our other site based in Victoria, London. This roughly equates to 7-8 full weekends per year.

About you

As a Veterinary Nurse, you will be confident and capable in delivering excellent nursing care for a range of small animals, providing both emergency and routine healthcare. Our Veterinary Nurses work alongside Veterinary Surgeons to promote animal health and welfare through responsible ownership and play a key role in the education of pet owners.

The ability to work as part of a team and effective communication skills are really important, often you will be the first point of our clients, forming strong bonds with them to ensure improved animal health and welfare.
