We have an exciting opportunity for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly and supportive team at Medivet Rustington, a welcoming practice located in a charming coastal village just minutes from the beautiful beaches and the South Downs National Park.

Medivet Rustington offers the perfect balance of a relaxed village atmosphere and excellent local amenities, making it a wonderful place to both live and work. Our close-knit team is passionate about delivering exceptional patient and client care, supporting one another to provide a positive, collaborative working environment.

The practice is well-equipped with everything you need to deliver high-quality nursing care, including two modern consult rooms, a dedicated surgical theatre, digital x-ray, ultrasound, an in-house laboratory, and a fully equipped dental suite. This allows our team to manage a broad and varied caseload, maintaining excellent standards and ensuring each day brings something new to learn and enjoy.

We’re looking for a confident and experienced RVN who enjoys all aspects of general practice - from supporting in surgery and diagnostics to client education and inpatient care. You’ll be organised, proactive, and dedicated to providing the very best for your patients, with the opportunity to work both independently and as part of a supportive, friendly team.

This is a part-time position (30 hours per week) on a 12-month fixed-term contract, offering a great work-life balance in a welcoming environment.
