Work with a Specialist-led team and cutting-edge facilities

Pride Veterinary Referrals is equipped with industry leading facilities and advanced diagnostic tools, ensuring that our patients receive the highest level of care. Our facilities provide an exceptional care environment. Our in-patient wards are large, air-conditioned, well-equipped and meet the highest RCVS and ISFM standards. In addition, dedicated canine and feline procedure rooms are provided so that examinations and minor procedures can be performed away from the other patients.

Our large and experienced team ensures access to leading-edge specialist knowledge, offering you an advanced and varied caseload that promotes the development of your clinical skills. While we prioritise clinical excellence and gold-standard patient care, we maintain a friendly and supportive culture within the team.

To succeed in this role, you must be a qualified RVN, ideally with at least 1 year of post-graduation experience, as some aspects of the role involve independent work. Experience of working in a hospital is required. Any additional qualifications, such as certificates, are advantageous, and you should be able to demonstrate clinical competence in standard nursing protocols.
