Head Registered Veterinary Nurse

📍 Feltham, England, United Kingdom 💼 Full time 🕒 Posted July 03, 2026

Job Description

We’re opening a brand-new veterinary surgery — and we’re looking for a Head Nurse to help build and lead the nursing team from day one.

This is your opportunity to shape how nursing works in a practice — not just fit into an existing structure

Too often, Head Nurse roles are about maintaining. This one is about creating. You’ll have the opportunity to influence standards, and build a nursing team where skills are fully utilised and genuinely valued.

As Head Nurse, you’ll lead the nursing function within the surgery — ensuring high standards of clinical care, smooth day-to-day operations, and a positive, collaborative team environment.

You will:

  • Lead, support and develop the nursing team
  • Ensure excellent patient care and client experience
  • Oversee nurse clinics, inpatient care and theatre standards
  • Drive utilisation of nursing skills including Schedule 3 procedures
  • Support student nurses and clinical coaching
  • Ready to Apply?
