Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal

We’re looking for a motivated and compassionate Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our close-knit team at Sunninghill Vets – if this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Embrace the next step in your career

As an RVN in our team, you will play a key role in the smooth operation of the nursing team, ensuring the highest standard of nursing care for all patients. The role sees a mixture of of ops, patient care and nurse consults, as well as clinical supervision of our student nurses. You will join a close knit team of SVNs and VCAs, supported by our Head Veterinary Nurse.

Join an established team at the heart of our local community

Sunninghill Veterinary Centre, part of IVC Evidensia, was established in 2006 by practice principal vet, Johanna Headley, with the aim of bringing a high level of veterinary care to small animals in Sunninghill, Ascot and surrounding villages and towns in Berkshire.

We pride ourselves on our reputation for exceptional care, clinical excellence, and a truly personal approach. Nestled in the heart of the Sunninghill community, we’ve built long-standing relationships with our clients and their pets, offering continuity, compassion, and a calm, welcoming environment. Our friendly and experienced team takes the time to do things properly – whether that’s a longer consult, a thorough discussion, or simply a reassuring cuddle. With modern facilities, in-house diagnostics, and a commitment to tailored, empathetic care, Sunninghill Vets is a place where pets – and people – are genuinely valued.

We are a well-equipped practice and see a varied first opinion caseload, as well as some more complex orthopaedic surgeries due to having a certificate holder in our team. Our nursing team comprises 1 HVN, 1 RVN, 2 SVNs and 2 VCAs.

Qualities we seek

Holding Clinical Supervisor status would be ideal, as you'll play a key part in developing our student nurses.
