The Opportunity
If you’re a Veterinary Nurse who’s tired of hearing, “that’s just how it’s done,” you’ll feel at home here.
Welland Valley Vets is in an exciting new chapter. Since taking ownership in mid-2025, we’ve been focused on building something thoughtful and sustainable — not just busier. We’re creating a culture where people feel listened to, supported, and proud of the care they give.
This role is ideal for a nurse who enjoys being involved, contributing ideas, and helping shape a positive, forward-thinking practice.

About Us
Welland Valley Vets is an independent small animal practice based in Stamford, with a branch in Peterborough.
Under new ownership, our focus is simple: provide excellent clinical care while building a workplace where people feel respected, valued, and able to grow. We believe good teamwork and good medicine go hand in hand.
Being independent means we can make decisions based on what’s right for our patients and our team. We’re thoughtful about how we develop, open to better ways of working, and committed to creating an environment where everyone’s contribution matters.

The Role
You’ll be based primarily in Stamford, with occasional days supporting our Peterborough branch.
What matters most to us:
– Delivering high-quality, compassionate patient care
– Supporting vets and colleagues to achieve excellent clinical outcomes
– Communicating clearly and warmly with clients
– Being a positive, dependable team member
– Bringing ideas and initiative to help us improve

Whether newly qualified or experienced, what matters most is your attitude, your care for patients, and your willingness to get involved.

About You
You’re someone who:
– Cares deeply about animal welfare and client experience
– Enjoys working collaboratively
– Communicates with kindness and professionalism
– Takes initiative and likes improving how things work
– Wants to grow with a practice, not just pass through one

Our Location
Stamford is a beautiful market town with a strong community feel, independent shops, and easy access to countryside and green space. It’s somewhere you can genuinely achieve work-life balance.
With occasional time in Peterborough, you’ll also enjoy variety and connection with colleagues across both sites — without constant site-hopping.

A few things worth knowing about us:
– We’re honest about the fact that we’re still evolving. We won’t always get it perfect — but we listen, learn, and improve together.
– Stamford genuinely is a lovely place to work: great cafés, beautiful countryside, and a community that truly values its vets.
– Our approach is kind, sensible, tailored veterinary care. No upselling. No pressure. Just doing the right thing.
CPD is actively encouraged, particularly if you want to develop a clinical interest.
– No on-call. No out-of-hours. Work–life balance matters here.

 Whether you’re newly qualified or experienced, what matters most to us is attitude, kindness, and wanting to be part of something positive.

If that sounds like you, we’d genuinely love to talk.
