Tay Veterinary Centre is an independent, family owned and run small animal practice that has been caring for pets and supporting their owners across Dundee for over 50 years.
We're proud of the reputation we've built within the local community and equally proud of the friendly, supportive team that makes it possible. Many of our clients have been with us for years, and we believe the same values that build lasting client relationships also make Tay Veterinary Centre a great place to work.
We're now looking for an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team.
