Registered Veterinary Nurse

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, team-orientated Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Seafield Vets on a full-time permanent basis.

To welcome you to the team, we’re offering a £2,000 welcome bonus or a relocation allowance, alongside short-term accommodation to help support you with your move.

A little about the area…

Seafield Vet Group is based in a beautiful part of the country, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you love walking, cycling, surfing or exploring the mountains, you'll be spoilt for choice, with the Cairngorms, stunning coastline and beaches all within easy reach. Aberdeen and Inverness are also both accessible for days out, while the local towns and villages offer a lovely sense of community, with independent bakeries and local businesses on your doorstep.

A little about us…

Seafield Vet Group has three branches in Keith, Banff and Buckie, each with a comprehensive range of diagnostic and surgical equipment, including a full IDEXX laboratory suite and a recently updated ultrasound machine. These facilities allow our team to investigate and manage cases in-house to a high standard.

Our Banff and Buckie branches primarily see a small animal caseload, while our main site in Keith is a mixed practice covering small animal, farm and equine. We have a strong small animal client base and would be happy to support our successful candidate in gaining exposure to farm or equine work if they would like to broaden their experience.

You'll be joining a team that is very much part of its local community, with each practice based within its own town or village. It's also a great opportunity to work with a varied caseload and help develop the nursing side of a busy practice.
