B&W Equine Hospital is one of Europe's most advanced equine diagnostic and surgical centres, and the largest equine hospital in the South West. Led by a team of specialist veterinary surgeons, we offer cutting-edge care in surgery, orthopaedics, diagnostic imaging, internal medicine, and sports medicine & rehabilitation.
We are now recruiting for a Nursing Services Manager to lead and support our large nursing team, including RVNs, imaging technicians, and patient care assistants. This is a newly created, non-clinical leadership role ideal for someone with experience managing teams in the medical or veterinary sectors.

Conduct one-to-ones, manage training needs, and support team development
Manage the out-of-hours rota and liaise with clinical leads and the referrals team
