Job description

About The Role

Ready to continue your veterinary nursing career with a team that will back you every step of the way?

Wimbledon Vets is an independent practice where team spirit is high, patient care comes first, and everyone plays a part in giving our patients and their owners the very best care. We’re friendly, supportive and professional. The only thing missing is you.

About the role

As a Student Veterinary Nurse, you’ll learn on the job as a valued member of our team, building your skills across a varied and interesting caseload. You’ll gain hands‑on experience in anaesthetic monitoring, medical nursing, nurse clinics and supporting our Veterinary Surgeons. No two days are the same.

You’ll be supported by experienced nurses who will guide your training, help you build confidence and celebrate your progress. With 24-hour hospital sites nearby, you’ll also have the chance to broaden your experience and see different areas of nursing.

Your development matters

We love investing in our people. We offer CPD opportunities and support further training, and our nurses have recently gained further qualifications in:

• Anaesthesia
• Emergency and critical care
• Physiotherapy
• Behaviour
• Nutrition

Whether you already know what excites you or you’re keen to find out, we’ll help you become the nurse you want to be.

What we offer

You’ll be part of an independent group of practices across Kent, Surrey, Sussex and London, with the backing of a wider team and the personal feel of an independent practice.

• CPD allowance
• Company pension
• Employee discount
• Cycle to work scheme
• Wellness programme
• Company events
• Opportunities to develop your skills across our wider group
• Supportive colleagues who genuinely care about doing a great job

The details

Full-time, 40 hours per week over 5 days, with a share of weekends.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, caring person who is enrolled on their veterinary nursing qualification, (ideally in 2nd or 3rd year), takes pride in patient care and enjoys being part of a team. You don’t need to have it all figured out. We’ll help you learn.

If you want a practice where your ideas are welcomed and your development is supported, we’d love to hear from you.

Join the Wimbledon Vets team – your nursing career continues here.
