Registered Veterinary Nurse, Great Park

Why Doorstep Vet?

We’ve spent the last 4 years building an award-winning and independent mobile veterinary practice across Tyne & Wear. Now, we’re taking the next exciting step by opening our first permanent clinic.

We’re an independent, family-run practice, not a corporate chain. We have built our reputation on providing personal, compassionate, high-quality veterinary care, and we want to bring those same values into our new clinic.

Our established mobile service has a loyal client base, more than 500 5* reviews and has been recognised as Best UK Vets County Winner for Tyne & Wear in both 2025 and 2026.

We’re now bringing together the best of both worlds: a modern, fully equipped veterinary practice alongside our established mobile service.

You’ll be joining a friendly, supportive and growing team, working alongside experienced veterinary surgeons, RVNs and our client care team.

The role will be split between our new Great Park practice and our existing, highly popular mobile service. Our mobile service offers a different style of working, with the opportunity to build closer relationships with clients and their pets, and a more personal approach to care. It offers a welcome contrast to the clinic environment, giving you the chance to enjoy a varied role that combines the best of both settings.

We believe this balance brings real variety to the working week, allowing you to enjoy the clinical opportunities and team environment of the practice alongside the more individual, relationship-led nature of mobile work. There will be the opportunity to conduct mobile nurse clinics alongside in-clinic nurse appointments.

Nurse clinics will form a key part of our clinical care at Great Park. In addition to nurse clinics, there will be ample opportunity for theatre and dental work, including some schedule 3 where appropriate.

This isn’t a new practice starting from zero. Our established mobile service already generates a significant caseload of surgical, dental and diagnostic work, which will transition into Great Park from the beginning, giving you a varied and engaging clinical role from the outset.

Our new Great Park practice

We’re creating a purpose-designed, modern clinical environment with patient welfare and low-stress handling at its heart.

Facilities will include:

• Three consulting rooms
• Dedicated operating facilities
• In-house laboratory
• Digital X-ray
• Dental facilities including dental X-ray
• Separate dog and cat kennels
• Preparation area
• Modern equipment to support a broad range of first-opinion cases

We’ll be providing a comprehensive first-opinion veterinary service, with the facilities to undertake a wide range of surgical, dental and diagnostic procedures.

Great Park and Northumberland

The practice itself is located in Great Park Town Centre, which sits at the heart of the thriving, family-friendly Great Park community.  Great Park is a rapidly growing suburb with shops, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep, while Newcastle city centre is only a few miles away. With Northumberland’s stunning coastline, countryside and outdoor spaces close by, it offers an excellent quality of life, combining the convenience of city living with easy access to some of the North East’s most beautiful surroundings. 

What we offer:

• Salary £28,500 – £32,000, depending on experience
• 40-hour contracted week, including a paid lunch break
• No out-of-hours work
• 6.6 weeks holiday per annum (including bank holidays)
• Saturday mornings on a rota basis – likely 1:3 or 1:4 depending on team size at the outset
• Schedule 3 procedures appropriate to your experience and competence, with support to develop your skills
• CPD encouraged and funded
• RCVS and VDS fees paid
• Employer contribution Pension scheme
• Employee discount scheme
• The opportunity to be part of something exciting, and to help shape a brand-new independent practice in a beautiful part of the UK
• A supportive, people-first culture

What we’re looking for:

• A Registered Veterinary Nurse (RCVS registered)
• Confident in general nursing duties and keen to develop their skills
• Good communication skills and enjoys building relationships with clients.
• A genuine passion for patient welfare and low-stress handling
• Pride in delivering high clinical standards and excellent pro-active patient and client care
• Has a positive, enthusiastic attitude and enjoys being involved.
• Shares our commitment to low-stress, compassionate veterinary care.
• Enjoys working as part of a close-knit, supportive team.

Experience is important, but so are personality, attitude and a genuine passion for what we do.
