Life at Fernside Veterinary Centre 

We would love to have another RVN join us! Fernside has a strong team of experienced, conscientious vets, friendly receptionists, 2 RVNs and 2 student RVN's. The RVC does all our OOH.

Client and patient care matter enormously to us and please take the time to read through the feedback on our Facebook page (Fernside Vet) to get a feel for our ethos. Salary is truly dependent on experience 

Our practice site is loved in Borehamwood, a bustling town in southern Hertfordshire, located about 12 miles northwest of Central London. Steeped in a rich film and TV heritage since the 1920s, it balances suburban life with commuter convenience.
