Job Description

Are you an experienced RVN ready to take the next step in your career?
We're looking for a supportive, confident, and motivated Head Nurse to guide a talented nursing team in a modern, well-equipped Bristol practice.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead from the front-championing gold-standard patient care, supporting the development of RVNs, students and VCAs, and helping to shape the culture of a forward-thinking practice where everyone has a voice.

What we're looking for

  • A strong clinical background with a passion for mentoring and team development
  • Confidence and resilience, balanced with approachability and empathy
  • Someone who thrives on building a positive, collaborative workplace where nurses feel valued
We know that to give your best, you need to feel your best. That's why this role comes with:
  • A competitive salary from £33k-£40k DOE
  • 4-day week with 39 hours and a fair 1:4 weekend rota
  • Generous CPD allowance with leadership training opportunities
  • 20 days holiday (plus bank holidays)
  • Enhanced maternity/paternity pay & income protection
  • Staff discount scheme and wellbeing support (including health & lifestyle perks)
  • Access to progressive initiatives like an electric car scheme and Boost discounts
You'll be joining a supportive, multi-disciplinary team with a wide range of special interests-many already working towards certificates. You'll have the space and encouragement to shape nursing standards, influence practice development, and continue your own growth as a clinical leader.
If you're ready to bring your skills, ideas and enthusiasm to a team that genuinely values its nurses, we'd love to hear from you.

A rare opportunity to join a proudly independent Bristol base practice as a valued Head Nurse.
