Mental Health Nurse jobs in Gran Bretaña

We have an exciting opportunity for a qualified RVN or a final-year student nurse to join our outstanding nursing team. This role has become available due to one of our valued nurses pursuing a career change.

At our practice, nurses play a vital and respected role in clinical care. From anaesthesia monitoring and inpatient nursing to blood sampling, radiography, and running their own nurse-led clinics—including nutrition, diabetes management, and wellness checks—our nurses are at the heart of what we do. In fact, even our Practice Director is an RVN, which reflects how highly we value our nursing team.

We are committed to ensuring our nurses have a strong clinical voice within the team, with regular clinical meetings and shared decision-making as part of our collaborative culture.

This is a full-time position (35-40 hours per week), though we are open to discussing flexible or part-time arrangements. The role includes participation in a shared weekend rota (1 in 7) and evening shifts.

You'll be joining a dedicated team of 11 vets, 8 RVNs, 1 student veterinary nurse, 2 animal care assistants, and 12 receptionists across our three Ayrshire practices—Saltcoats, Largs, and Dundonald. Our leadership team includes a Vet Clinical Director, RVN Practice Director, RVN Practice Manager, and Head RVN, reflecting our commitment to veterinary nursing at every level.

We're a progressive, supportive team, passionate about professional development and continually enhancing the services we offer to our clients. Our facilities include state-of-the-art equipment, a dedicated cat consult room, and a staff wellbeing room. Above all, our greatest strength is our people.

We warmly welcome prospective applicants to visit us, meet the team, and get a feel for our culture.
