Hi there, I'm looking for trainee veterinary nurse positions without any luck. I know places go quickly and there is a lot of demand but I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble finding a position and how long it took them to find somewhere to take them on? Thanks in advance.https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?6,7905,7905#msg-7905Thu, 30 Apr 2026 07:33:57 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?6,7905,21274#msg-21274 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?6,7905,21274#msg-21274I have been living back in England for the laast 6 years and have had no success in becoming a Trainee Veterinary Nurse. I have numerous qualifications including an NVQ2 in Animal Care and a National Award in Animal Management. I am 25 years old and am currently a mature student studying my A levels part time so I can hopefully get into University next September. I am hoping to train in a veterinary practice instead of going to Uni but cant find any placements. I carry out charity work for Guide Dogs for the Blind and also volunteer on a farm once a week since June and have many other work experience but still am not getting anywhere. I live in Portsmouth Hampshire. If anyone knows of any Trainee Positions in the area please contact me!
Thank you,

It is also prpvong very difficult for me to find a TVP. I wrote to around 40 veterinary practices but only half replied. I have so far had 3 interviews in around 6 months. It is a waiting game, if you have written to the vets they wull more than likely keep your CV on file. They will then usually contact you when they have a ANA or student veterinary nurse placement. It took one of my friends 2 years to find a placement. One thing i would say is avoid Medivet, they are a horrid company to work for so avoid them as much as you can with a barge pole. Unfortunately i am sitting here also looking for a placement but having no luck. dont give up, find yourself a coyple of part time jobs in the meantime to tide you over, I am currently doing 3 part time jobs!!!
Just wait and hope for the best. Good luck to you all :)

Hi!

I hope that you have had some luck finding a job since you posted this. I also had some difficulty finding a nurse position when I was looking for one, but with patience, I finally found one. Where have looked for nurse jobs so far? Best of luck and hope to hear from you soon.

Ive been accepted on a veterinary course in York which is one day a week. I currently live in Scarborough though and have rung all the vets possible. Just wondered if you have any advice on what else I can do as I really want to do this course.

Thanks.
