Join Mercer & Hughes

\n

We are looking for a Night Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Mercer & Hughes Veterinary Surgeons in Saffron Walden.

\n

With over 40 years of heritage and a trusted reputation across Essex, we combine high-quality veterinary care with strong community relationships and a supportive team environment. As part of Kin Vet Community, you'll benefit from shared expertise, excellent clinical support and genuine opportunities to develop your career, while remaining part of a close-knit local practice.

Why join us?

If you love inpatient nursing and want a role where you can focus on your patients, this could be the perfect opportunity.

You'll care for a varied caseload of medical and surgical inpatients, helping us provide true 24-hour nursing care and continuity for our patients.

\n

Unlike many night roles, there are no overnight telephones to answer, allowing you to focus entirely on nursing. Our vet is on-call throughout every shift, so support is always available when you need it.

Whether you're newly qualified or an experienced RVN, we'll support your development, including certificate funding for those looking to progress.
