Are you a Registered Veterinary Nurse ready to take on a new challenge? Purovets is offering an excellent opportunity for a confident and experienced Veterinary Nurse to lead a dedicated nursing team at a modern, well-established veterinary practice in Hertfordshire.

Our client, a respected group of three veterinary practices, is looking for a Lead Veterinary Nurse to join their team at one of their busy Hertfordshire locations. Conveniently located just minutes from junction 24 of the M25 and a short walk from the train station with direct access to London, this practice offers both excellent facilities and an easy commute.

You will be working with a skilled team that includes 2.5 full-time equivalent Vets, 2 Registered Veterinary Nurses, a Student Veterinary Nurse, and a Client Care team. The practice features modern, well-maintained facilities, including separate waiting and kennelling areas for dogs and cats, full surgical and dental suites, X-ray, Ultrasound, ECG, and in-house blood testing.
