Night Veterinary Nurse

Isabelle Vets - Help us build the future of veterinary care in Guernsey

Isabelle Vets is looking for a Night Veterinary Nurse to join our team in Guernsey.

We are ideally looking for a permanent member of the team who can join us as soon as possible, although we would also be happy to consider an experienced long-term locum RVN while we recruit for the permanent position.

This is an exciting time to join Isabelle Vets. We are currently building a brand-new veterinary hospital at Garenne Park, due to open in January 2027, which will provide modern facilities and 24-hour care for our patients.

Guernsey is a beautiful island, boasting a rich heritage and culture plus a laid-back atmosphere. It has an abundance of nature reserves, with stunning cliff walks and beaches - a truly great place to enjoy the outdoors. Residents enjoy an excellent standard of living, and the local schools are of a high standard. Islanders also benefit from a private healthcare system.

There are good transport links to the UK with flight times from as little as 40 minutes or ferry sailings from just 3 hours.

About the role

As part of our night team, you'll play an important role in providing high-quality care to our inpatients and supporting emergency cases overnight.

We're looking for an RVN who is confident working overnight, enjoys inpatient nursing and is comfortable working independently while having the wider veterinary team available for support.

You'll have the opportunity to be part of developing our 24-hour service as we move into our new hospital.

Our new hospital

The new Garenne Park hospital will include:

• Dedicated dog and cat areas
• A dedicated cattery
• Four operating theatres
• CT and X-ray facilities
• Dedicated equine hospital facilities
• 24-hour veterinary care

Joining us now means you can be part of the team helping to shape how our new hospital and night service develop.

Why Isabelle Vets?

Isabelle Vets has been caring for animals in Guernsey for over 100 years. You'll be joining an established practice with a strong local reputation, while also becoming part of an exciting period of growth and investment.

If you're an RVN looking for a night role where you can make a real difference to patient care and be part of something new, we'd love to hear from you.

We're also happy to have an informal conversation with anyone interested in a long-term locum opportunity while we recruit permanently.
