Permanent nursing position

We’re looking for an RVN who enjoys responsibility and wants to use their skills to the fullest in all areas of nursing.

About us

Potton Vets is an independent, family-run, full-service veterinary centre. Our friendly team provide quality veterinary care for family pets.  Currently we have 5 Vets (3 FTE) 4 RVN’s, 1 student nurse and 3 reception staff.

2025 sees the practice’s 20th anniversary, and exciting times are ahead!  We are in the process of having a new practice built and aim to be in later this year.  The new practice will allow more space to grow, and it will offer new facilities, such as a separate cat waiting room and separate cat and dog recovery wards, as well as a dedicated imaging room.  It really is a great time to join us!

We have no Out of Hours! The practice is open 6 days a week – Monday – Friday 8.30 am – 7 PM and Saturdays 8.30 am – Midday, and clients are directed to Vidi Vet or Vets Now for out-of-hours advice or treatment.

Owned by married couple Alan & Rene, the practice’s focus is not only on exceptional care and professionalism for the animals we treat and clients we serve, but also the welfare of the team.  They have created a wonderful team that works collaboratively. Alan & Rene work hard to ensure profits are put back into the practice, meaning we have up-to-date equipment

Outside of work, the team enjoy meeting up for social events such as Christmas parties, axe throwing, punting, shooting and cocktail making, to name but a few!  We also have a social WhatsApp group, and normally, silly jokes or funny pictures are shared on here!
