Would I already need to be attending a vet nurse course for 22 weeks before applying for the role or would the course be part of training if accepted? Thanks!

Hi Sophie,

I agree our website is a little confusing on this! I won't take a guess at the answer, but you should be able to get confirmation from our recruitment team.

If you scroll down there is a contact number for them, and I believe they plan to update the page with an email address as well.

Let me know if you have any problems and I can try and contact them for you.
