Registered Veterinary Nurse

Due to our practice expansion due to be completed towards the end of July 2026 an exciting opportunity has become available for an enthusiastic Registered Veterinary Nurse to join Veterinary Partner Johan van Sittert and his team at Bridgwater Vets for Pets, a well-established small animal practice.

Bridgwater has a loyal client base and an excellent reputation both locally and further afield. The purpose-built practice is equipped with the latest technology, enabling us to provide the highest standard of patient care. Facilities include digital X-ray, ultrasound, an in-house laboratory with blood machines, blood pressure monitoring, a dental X-ray, and a dedicated theatre with suction, electrocautery, and advanced orthopaedic equipment.

Johan qualified in South Africa over 20 years ago and has worked in the UK since 2003. He achieved his surgical certificate in 2017. He is supported by a friendly and experienced team of four additional vets, four RVNs, a second-year student nurse, a Practice Manager, and four Client Care Advisors.

This role offers the opportunity to fully utilise your nursing skills, including nurse consultations, admitting patients, monitoring anaesthesia, carrying out laboratory diagnostics, inpatient care, and patient discharge.

We are looking for a nurse with solid general nursing experience and excellent customer service skills. The ideal candidate will be friendly, down-to-earth, enthusiastic, and passionate about animal welfare.

The position is available on a full-time or part-time basis, working between 20 and 40 hours per week. Shifts will include a mix of early, mid, and late patterns, with 1 in 4 weekends on a rota basis.

In return, we are pleased to offer:

• A competitive salary starting from £30,000 FTE
• No out-of-hours or overnight inpatient checks
• Generous CPD allowance, including funded certificates
• Regular social events and a strong focus on wellbeing
• Contributory pension scheme
• Paid professional memberships (RCVS and VDS)
• Access to exclusive company and high street discounts and rewards

If you share our passion for delivering exceptional pet healthcare and outstanding customer service, we would love to hear from you.
