About Us

Sunninghill Veterinary Centre is a lovely village practice with a loyal client base. We are surrounded by vibrant towns and have easy access to London, but there is still wonderful countryside all around to explore.

We have retained our family practice feel whilst building up the ability to look after many of our patients in-house. This is done with a great range of equipment, in-house orthopaedics, and virtual support from board-certified consultants. This has given nurses and vets greater satisfaction; clients are happy to be seen by familiar faces and the pets get to stay with their 'friends'.

Our team is made up of 4 vets (ranging from 5 years to 23 years qualified), 1 of which is a surgery certificate holder, we have 2 veterinary nurses, 1 student nurse, 2 veterinary care assistants, 2 receptionists and 1 reception support.

Applicant Requirements

This role will suit an experienced and confident nurse who wants to make a difference. If you are proactive, you will be able to carve out your own niche at Sunninghill. Perhaps you want to take your study further and want to be more involved in particular areas of nursing.
