The bright and light clinic will have the very best dental equipment to allow us to provide a full range of first-opinion dental services including our routine Protect and Shine hygiene procedures and full surgical Fix & Shine dental with extractions and xray.

Are you looking for a different approach to veterinary care? Do you fancy joining a brand new clinic, with calm and structured days, where nurses are encouraged to work up to schedule 3, balancing surgical support with virtual and in person dental assessments and wider business and client support.

• Half a day supporting clinical dental procedures (up to 4 daily)
• Admissions, blood tests, discharges and wider clinic support
• Running in person and virtual dental health assessments
• Supporting owners with advice and guidance via WhatsApp, email, walk‑ins and inbound calls
• Improving preventative dental care habits through The Luna Dental Health Club
• Ad hoc opportunities to support at events and Luna community run activities

Requirements

• You need to be ready to embrace a revolutionary approach to veterinary care, supported with AI, tech and a client first mindset
• You should thrive on variety and the ability to work across multiple tasks
• A brilliant team player with great communication skils and initiative
• GA monitoring experience
• Nurse consult experience
• An active interest in dog and cat dentals
• A desire to join a different type of nursing role, that's calm, organised, sustainable and gives you the opportunity to build your career as you want

Benefits

• Independent clinic in Wokingham, just off the M4
• Light, modern and bright
• Free off road parking
• 25 days annual leave + BH (pro rata)
• Significant CPD budget (focussed mainly on dental CPD), plus RCVS and VDS fees
• Paid lunchbreaks (of course!)
• FIGS scrubs
• Opportunity for growth as an early stage employee in a growing start up
• Supportive and fun team with plenty of team nights out to join

Since opening in June 2025, Luna The Dental Vets has been booked out for a number of weeks in advance, we're improving pet dental health through our Luna Dental Health club subscription, already offer a range of Luna clinical retail products (& growing), plus have a number of partnerships in the works. We're delighted to be opening a bigger, brand new clinic in Reading in early 2026.
