We are a progressive, ambitious team who give our nurses the opportunity to take on responsibility, develop their interests and get involved in a much broader range of clinical work than traditional nursing duties.\nOur main centre in Heavitree is an RCVS-accredited practice, supported by three nearby branch practices in Alphington, St Thomas and Whipton. Across the group, you’ll have exposure to a large and varied caseload, modern equipment and a team of experienced colleagues who genuinely want to help you progress.\nWhy City Vets is different for nurses\nThis is a role where you’ll get excellent exposure to a busy, varied clinical environment.\nYou’ll work alongside a supportive team of 12 vets, 9 RVNs and dedicated support staff, with experienced lead nurses available to guide and mentor you. For a newly qualified RVN, or someone looking to develop their skills within a busy main centre, this provides the perfect balance of support and opportunity.\nOur nurses are trusted to do far more than traditional day-to-day nursing duties. You’ll have opportunities to develop your skills in:\nStage 1 dental procedures\nNurse-led outpatient CT\nAdvanced imaging and patient preparation\nAnaesthesia and inpatient care\nDental imaging and procedures\nNurse-led consultations\nMinor procedures, including lump removals\nSupporting complex and interesting cases\nExotic patient care\nWe also have dedicated dentistry expertise within the practice, alongside CT, ultrasound, digital radiography, endoscopy and dental imaging. Our separate wards for dogs, cats and exotics mean you’ll gain exposure to a broad range of patients and clinical presentations.\nInterested in exotics? Even better.\nIf you have an interest in exotic nursing, there is plenty here to get excited about.\nWe see a varied exotic caseload and have nurses with experience and further qualifications in exotics. You’ll have the opportunity to build your knowledge and confidence with exotic patients while working alongside colleagues who are happy to share their experience.\nOur practices are also proud to hold Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation through the ISFM, while St Thomas holds Silver Rabbit Friendly accreditation through the RWAF and Heavitree is a Gold Standard RWAF practice.\nA team that wants you to progress\nWe believe that being supported doesn’t mean being held back.\nOur nursing team is structured to give you access to experienced lead nurses and Clinical Nursing Managers, with clear opportunities to develop your skills and progress internally. If there’s an area of nursing you’re passionate about, we want to help you explore it.\nWhether your interests lie in dentistry, imaging, anaesthesia, exotics, inpatient care or consultations, we’ll support you to develop your career in the direction that suits you.\nWe already have multiple nursing certificate holders across exotics, anaesthesia, imaging and dentistry, and we actively support our team with further qualifications and CPD. We offer extensive internal and funded external CPD because we believe investing in our nurses ultimately means better care for our patients.\nGreat facilities. Great caseload. Even better support.\nOur Heavitree main centre is extremely well equipped, with:\nCT scanner\nUltrasound\nDigital radiography\nEndoscopy\nDental imaging\nSeparate wards for dogs, cats and exotics\nDedicated dentistry facilities\nWe also benefit from certificate holders across the wider veterinary team, visiting specialists in cardiology, ophthalmology and physiotherapy, regular CPD events and dedicated input from Cave Veterinary Specialists. We work closely with local referral hospitals, giving our team excellent clinical support when cases require it.\nYour wellbeing matters too\nWe want you to build a rewarding career without sacrificing your life outside work.\nOur out-of-hours service is outsourced, helping to protect work-life balance, while inpatient care remains in-house during our normal working arrangements. Weekend duties are shared fairly across the veterinary team.\nAnd then there’s Exeter itself with the coast, estuary, moors and countryside on your doorstep, alongside a vibrant food scene and excellent transport links to London and beyond.\nWhat we’re looking for\nWe’re looking for an RVN who is:\nMotivated and keen to develop clinically\nPassionate about delivering excellent patient care\nConfident or keen to develop as a consulting nurse\nInterested in learning from a varied and interesting caseload\nA strong team player who enjoys working collaboratively\nCommitted to providing an excellent client experience\nInterested in developing additional clinical skills\nInterested in exotics advantageous, but not essential\nWhether you’re newly qualified and looking for the right environment to build your confidence, or an experienced RVN looking for greater responsibility and progression, we’d love to hear from you.\nWhat we offer\nCirca £30,000 salary, depending on experience\n5 weeks’ holiday plus bank holidays and birthday leave\nRelocation support\nRCVS and VDS fees paid\nEmployer contribution pension scheme\nGenerous staff discount scheme\nLife assurance\nE-car salary sacrifice scheme\nEnhanced equal family leave\nExtensive internal and funded external CPD\nGenuine opportunities for clinical development and progression\nReady to take your
