Job description

Veterinary Nurse - Barnsley

Competitive package & benefits: £28,000–£31,000 DOE, paid RCVS & VDS fees, private medical insurance (including mental health cover), staff discounts, and free parking.

Modern, well‑equipped practice: Ultrasound, digital & dental X‑ray, full IDEXX in‑house lab, orthopaedic kits, regenerative medicine equipment, and more.

Supportive, growth‑focused environment: Full in‑house training, opportunities to develop advanced clinical and surgical skills, and a team that values collaboration and learning.

Balanced schedule: 4/5‑day week, 8:30–18:00 weekdays, no on‑call or bank holidays or Sundays.

Outstanding reputation & client care: Independent practice with a strong local following built on personal recommendations, transparent pricing, and exceptional client communication.

Why This Practice Stands Out

• Reputation that speaks for itself: Through glowing personal recommendations and stellar Google and Facebook reviews.
• High standards, reasonable pricing: Early diagnosis and thorough in‑house case management mean most patients never need referral.
• Team spirit: A culture where people help each other, share knowledge, and don’t take themselves too seriously.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary: £28,000–£31,000 DOE.
• Modern tools & tech: Mindray ultrasound, digital and dental X‑ray, full IDEXX in‑house lab, orthopaedic kits, regenerative medicine equipment, and more.
• Thoughtful scheduling: 4/5‑day week, 8:30–18:00 weekdays, 8:30–12:00 Saturdays (1 in 2 rota negotiable). No on‑call or bank holidays.
• Workplace perks: Spacious consulting rooms with natural light, 15‑minute consults, cloud‑based management system, recorded phone lines for team protection.
• Benefits: NEST pension, paid RCVS & VDS fees, private medical insurance (including mental health cover), staff discounts, free parking.
• Development: Full in‑house training to confidently use all equipment and support for clinical growth.

The Ideal Candidate

This role suits a veterinary nurse who is:

• Eager to learn and develop advanced clinical skills.
• Ready to embrace a collaborative, client‑focused ethos.
• Comfortable engaging with clients and supporting both routine and complex cases.
• Interested in everything from soft‑tissue surgery to occasional exotics—experience is welcome, but curiosity and commitment matter more.
