We need a 4th nurse due to continued growth

Leith vets is growing steadily so we need another RVN. We now have 4 full time vets, 3 full time RVNs, a VCA and 3 full time equivalent receptionists. We’re LGBTQ+ friendly.

Leith is a fun and vibrant community which appreciates and embraces independent businesses. The Links is at the end of our street and is a beautiful place to go for a stroll at lunch time.

We’re looking for an RVN who understands that a vet practice only exists because of the people within its team and the community of pets and pet owners who support it. Community involvement and client care is at the core of what we do and luckily we have some amazing clients and a fantastic team of staff.

Leith Vets is a bit unusual in the fact that nearly 50% of our patients are feline and we also look after exotic species. A large proportion of our caseload is dentistry and we perform dentistry to the highest standards so an interest in dentistry would be an advantage. Our RVNs perform the majority of our COHATs and dental radiographs. We are the only practice in Edinburgh to have gold ISFM practice accreditation so we’re focussed on providing a high levels of care and low stress handling to our feline patients.

The position would be 30-40hr per week spread over 3-5 days and 1 in 4 Saturdays with a 30 min paid lunch break. We offer 5 days paid sick leave following successful completion of our probationary period. £750 CPD allowance. We are now well placed to support a new graduate RVN. Salary £28,000-£33,000 pro rata.

Please email your CV and a covering letter explaining what makes a good day at work for you and why you believe you would be a good candidate for the role to management@leithvets.co.uk.

Closing date 15th March 2026.
