Registered Veterinary Nurse

We pride ourselves on a strong team spirit and a genuine care for pets and their owners are at the heart of everything we do., Our Nurses also have fantastic talent with certificates in consulting, emergency and critical care and a qualified physiotherapist. Between our Vets we hold a Certificate in Internal Medicine, Certificate in Cardiology and one currently doing a Certificate in Ultrasonography. We also offer acupuncture and physiotherapy. We really do believe in supporting our team to reach their career goals, and in return, help to provide and support the best quality care to our clients. Our practice is based inside the vibrant Pets at Home store in Peterborough Bretton, and our Peterborough Vets for Pets practice is a wonderful standalone building; we offer free parking for staff and clients and easy accessibility at both practices.

You will have a good experience of veterinary nursing, excellent customer service and communication skills, be an effective team player, have a systematic approach when making decisions and be able to carry out the role effectively with planning and organisation. You are friendly, down-to-earth, have a genuine interest in animal welfare and enjoy the variety provided by the clients and colleagues alike.
