Are you a passionate RVN looking to join a welcoming team where your skills are valued and your wellbeing matters?
At Willows Veterinary Centre we're looking for a friendly and enthusiastic Registered Veterinary Nurse to become part of our compassionate, supportive team.
About Us
We are a progressive small animal practice with clinics in South Shields and Boldon. Following the recent refurbishment of our Boldon branch, we’re proud to offer a modern, well-equipped environment where our team can thrive and provide outstanding patient care.

We provide emergency care during opening hours but enjoy the benefit of no out-of-hours commitments, with our patients referred to Westway Veterinary Hospital in Newcastle for overnight and emergency care.
Most importantly, you'll be joining a genuinely friendly and supportive team of 4 Vets and 6 RVNs who work collaboratively, support one another, and treat every patient as if they were their own.

40 hours per week over 4 days between 8:30am and 7:30pm

About You
We're looking for an RVN who combines strong clinical skills with a genuine passion for patient care.
You’ll enjoy building relationships with clients, take pride in delivering a high standard of nursing care, and thrive as part of a collaborative team.
Experience in nurse consultations, inpatient care, and surgical support would be advantageous, but above all else we're looking for someone who shares our values, brings a positive attitude, and is committed to making a difference to our patients and their families every day.
