Registered Veterinary Nurse

We are seeking an enthusiastic, team‑orientated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Bilton Veterinary Centre on a full‑time basis. Bilton Veterinary Centre is a long‑established, single‑site small animal practice in Rugby, proudly serving the local community for over 75 years. We are a friendly, supportive team with a strong reputation for delivering high standards of patient care and excellent client service.

Our well‑equipped practice includes five consulting rooms, two sterile theatres, dedicated dental suites, digital and dental radiography, ultrasound with cardiac probes, in‑house laboratory equipment, ECG, and a newly refurbished isolation suite. As an ISFM Cat Friendly accredited practice, we are committed to providing a calm and comfortable environment for our patients.

How You’ll Make a Difference: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, you will be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering high‑quality nursing care to patients while supporting excellent client experiences.

Weekend work is shared fairly across the team, with Saturday clinics running until 1:00pm and inpatient care supported until 4:30pm.

General responsibilities include:

• Deliver high standards of nursing care across a varied first‑opinion caseload
