Description: 

Registered Veterinary Nurse – Altrincham Vets for Pets

Salary: £30,000–£34,000 DOE | Full-time, 40 hours

At Altrincham Vets for Pets, we’re not just filling a rota — we’re building the best first-opinion practice in Altrincham.

We’ve recently expanded into a modern, spacious site with 5 consult rooms, 2 theatres, dedicated recovery spaces, a study area and a large rest room. We have new technology arriving shortly including a HT Vista scanner. We’ve got a strong team, clear leadership, and the ambition to raise the standard of what a first-opinion practice can be. Now we need the right nurse to join us.

This is your chance to step into a role where your skills will be trusted, your input will be valued, and your career will be supported.

Why you should join us

  • Modern facilities designed to let you do your best work every day.
  • Nursing leadership you can trust: Jo our Head RVN, who holds an Advanced Nursing Certificate, leads on clinical standards and coaching.
  • Real autonomy: if we give you a patient and a plan, you’ll be trusted to see it through.
  • A balanced rota: no on-call, no Sundays, breaks and admin time built into the diary.
  • A culture that listens: regular nurse meetings, open clinical discussions, and genuine support for
    special interests and certificates.

Who we’re looking for

  • A confident, clinically excellent RVN with strength in anaesthesia, inpatient care and all-round nursing.
  • An experienced RVN with a minimum of 3 years post qualification experience. 
  • Independent under pressure, reliable, and able to work under your own steam.
  • A team player who values both collaboration and autonomy.
  • Someone who wants to grow with us — whether that’s pursuing a certificate, developing a specialism, or shaping the way we work.

The package

  • £30,000–£34,000 DOE
  • Company pension scheme
  • 5.6 weeks’ holiday (rising to 6.6 after 2 years)
  • RCVS & BVNA fees paid
  • CPD fully supported (certificates encouraged)
  • Reward hub with discounts, cashback, and cycle-to-work scheme

Why wouldn’t you apply?
This is more than just another RVN job. It’s a chance to be part of a practice with ambition, modern facilities, and a leadership team who understand what nurses need to thrive.
