Job Description



We’re looking for a passionate RVN to join our team at Blackburn. Our affordable service will provide pets and pet owners with high-quality care without the hefty price tag. The diverse caseload at Animal Trust means no two days will be the same, allowing you to use all your nursing skills. 



Located next to Rovers FC , Blackburn boasts three theatres, including a dedicated dental suite equipped with a dental x-ray. With seven well-appointed consulting rooms, we are equipped to deliver excellent care to our growing client base.

The diverse caseload at our Blackburn clinic makes it the perfect environment to showcase and enhance your skills. We handle a substantial surgery caseload, including orthopaedic cases.

About animal Trust

Animal Trust stands out from other veterinary services. Firstly, we are a unique Community Interest Company, being the only veterinary CIC in the UK to date. Our primary focus isn't solely on maximising profits; instead, we are dedicated to delivering on our mission and ensuring enough profit to sustain our business in the long term. 


Our vision is clear: No pet should go untreated or face euthanasia when there is a viable treatment option. We firmly believe that pet ownership should be accessible to all, acknowledging that individuals earning the Real Living Wage may encounter challenges in affording veterinary care when their pet falls ill. In response, we aim to assist. Our free consultations and transparent pricing enable our vets and nurses to break down the barriers that stand in the way of pets receiving the treatment they need
