Head Veterinary Nurse

£35,000 – £38,000 DOE | 4-Day Week + 1:5 Saturdays | Swindon Area

The Opportunity

This is a rare and exciting chance for an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse to step into a senior leadership role, managing and developing a large, dynamic nursing team.

If you’re a clinical coach with proven leadership experience, a passion for high standards, and the drive to nurture and inspire others, this position offers the perfect platform to truly make your mark.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Shape the future of nursing careers.

  
  

• Work a genuine 4-day week with only 1:5 Saturday mornings. No Overtime!

  
  

• No OOH – with emergency cover handled externally

  
  

• Be part of a supportive, open culture that values CPD and team development

  
  What You’ll Do

  ✔ Lead and support a fully staffed nursing team
  ✔ Develop, implement, and oversee clinical protocols to maintain gold-standard care
  ✔ Induct, mentor and coach nurses and student nurses, ensuring a strong culture of growth
  ✔ Collaborate with clinical and practice managers on HR and recruitment
  ✔ Deliver outstanding clinical care, including consulting and inpatient responsibilities
  ✔ Maintain compliance with RCVS standards across all sites

  What We're Looking For
  ✔ Confident consulting & client care skills
  ✔ Organised, efficient and compassionate with a genuine passion for coaching others
  ✔ A motivational team player who thrives in an open, collaborative environment
  ✔ Leadership or management qualifications (desirable, but not essential – support provided)

  Rewards & Benefits

  • Salary £35,000 – £38,000 DOE

    
    

  • 4-day week (8.30am–7pm) + 1:5 Saturdays (9–12)

    
    

  • Additional 1:5 rota for inpatient care only (no OOH)

    
    

  • 5 weeks holiday + Bank Holidays

    
    

  • VDS & RCVS fees paid

    
    

  • Company pension scheme

    
    

  • Annual pay reviews linked to performance

    
    

  • £500 CPD allowance with further qualifications encouraged

    
    

  • Generous staff discount & supportive management team

    
    The Location

    Based in Swindon, this role offers the best of both worlds: excellent schools, sports facilities and affordable housing, while being just a short drive to the Cotswolds, Bath, Bristol, Oxford and even London. Heathrow and Bristol airports are less than an hour away, making weekend getaways a breeze.
