Our Head Nurse is leaving us, literally for pastures new, which means we now have an exciting opening for a Head Veterinary Nurse to join our team.

Many of our clients have been with us for years, trusting us to take the best possible care of their extended family members.

The practice and location:

The practice itself has been newly expanded and refurbished with a new building and equipment that offers a lovely bright and airy environment to work in with all the equipment you’d expect from a solid GP practice, in addition to separate cat and dog wards and two theatres. 

Based in an ideal location in Cornwall, we are surrounded by wonderful scenery and some of the best beaches in the country within 15-20 minutes’ drive. Truro has great access to the A30 and the A390 which connects the city to Falmouth, Redruth, Liskeard, and Plymouth.

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you
