Love nursing but not surgery?
Not every RVN enjoys spending their day in theatre—and that's absolutely okay. If you thrive on building relationships with clients, supporting patients through consultations, and delivering holistic nursing care, then our brand-new role could be exactly what you've been looking for.
At The Natural Vet, we're excited to introduce a dedicated Consulting-Only Registered Veterinary Nurse position, designed for an RVN who wants to focus entirely on patient care without surgical responsibilities.
What you'll be doing
- Running routine nurse consultations, including weight clinics, post-operative checks, senior pet clinics, puppy and kitten advice, and preventative healthcare.
- Providing laser therapy treatments as part of our multimodal approach to pain management and rehabilitation.
- Supporting clients with compassionate advice and education to help them make informed decisions about their pets' wellbeing.
- Working closely with our veterinary team to deliver exceptional, patient-centred care in a calm and supportive environment.
Professional development
We're passionate about helping our team grow. As part of this role, you'll have the exciting opportunity to undertake the WVAG Foundation Acupuncture course, expanding your skills in complementary therapies and becoming part of our holistic approach to veterinary medicine.
What we're looking for
- A Registered Veterinary Nurse with excellent communication skills.
- Someone who enjoys consulting and building lasting relationships with clients and their pets.
- An interest in rehabilitation, pain management, or holistic veterinary care is an advantage, but not essential.
- A positive team player who shares our commitment to providing outstanding patient care.
What we offer
- 36 hours per week across 4 days, promoting a healthy work-life balance.
- No surgical nursing responsibilities.
- A supportive, forward-thinking practice with a focus on holistic and evidence-based care.
- Funded professional development, including the opportunity to complete the Western Veterinary Acupuncture course.
- The chance to shape an exciting new role within our growing practice.
If you've always loved the consulting side of nursing and would enjoy a role where you can make a real difference to patients and their owners every day, we'd love to hear from you.
