Job Description

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, team-oriented Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our team at Sunninghill Vets on a full-time basis.

Established in 2006 by practice principal vet Johanna Headley, Sunninghill Veterinary Centre was created to provide exceptional veterinary care to small animals in Sunninghill, Ascot, and the surrounding Berkshire area. Since then, we’ve built a strong reputation for clinical excellence, compassionate care, and a genuinely personal approach. Our friendly and experienced team takes the time to do things properly – whether that’s a longer consult, a thorough discussion, or simply a reassuring cuddle.

At the heart of the Sunninghill community, our friendly and experienced team is dedicated to building lasting relationships with pets and their owners, taking the time to provide thorough, tailored care in a calm and welcoming environment. We see a varied first-opinion caseload alongside more complex orthopaedic surgeries, supported by modern facilities including dental, ultrasound, and orthopaedic equipment.

Our Sunninghill site features large kennels and two consultation rooms, while our Sunningdale branch offers consulting, dental, and x-ray facilities. With exciting plans to reopen Sunningdale, this is a fantastic opportunity to work across both sites within our growing group. Our commitment to high standards has also been recognised through a nomination for Practice of the Year at the IVC Leaders Forum.
