We are a supportive practice with a great work ethos and look forward to welcoming a new colleague. We're based in the heart of beautiful Perthshire, which has been voted the 5th best place to live in the UK.
Our team consists of 12 nurses, each with their own interests both inside and outside of work. We believe in utilising our nurses’ skill sets to the fullest, and several of our team have gone on to complete additional qualifications and certificates.

The practice also boasts an in‑ground hydrotherapy pool run by our nurses and is complemented by our physiotherapy, acupuncture and pain clinics. Hydrotherapy training can be provided to the successful candidate if this is an area of interest.
At Tay Valley Vets, we understand the importance of job satisfaction and encourage our nurses to pursue their clinical passions — CPD and certificates are actively encouraged and funded. We also support career progression through our careers pathway framework. Schedule 3 procedures are encouraged, and we maintain high clinical standards guided by evidence‑based medicine. We are always looking for new ideas to promote excellent patient care and team wellbeing.
You don’t need years of experience — just a passion for patient care, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn. Plenty of support will be provided!
