" I feel immensely lucky and privileged to be able to do what I love for living; I cannot emphasise enough how fulfilling my career is for me." 

Head Veterinary Nurse

 Hello, my name is Ellie. Since qualifying as an RVN in 2015, I have gained experience locuming around East Sussex, working in different clinics with a variety of patients. Before Covid, I would travel at least once a year to Greece to work alongside a cat charity, neutering and caring for the stray cats. I enjoy all aspects of the Veterinary Nurse role, but my favourite would have to be inpatient care, recovering from surgical procedures to long term medical cases. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening in the judgemental company of my cat, Jonesy. 

Deputy Head Nurse

"Hello, I`m Stacey. With almost 20 years in the Veterinary industry, qualified as Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2010, and spent last 10 years as Head Nurse, I`ve had privilege of a fulfilling career. Along the way, I`ve nurtured a passion for training. Teaching holds a special place in my heart, and I consider it a great honour. Nurse clinics resonate deeply with me, as I value, the bond between patient and client, often overlooked in today`s fast-paced world. I find particular satisfaction in wound management and caring for challenging patients who are often misunderstood. Despite opportunities for change, I would not trade my career for anything else; I`d gladly do it all over again. Outside of work, I share a wonderful life with my husband Tom and our amazing son. We enjoy exploring the countryside, getting creative with arts and crafts, and cheering on women`s rugby - come on, girls!"  

Receptionist, Admin

"Hi, my name is Sarah, and I have worked as a veterinary receptionist and covered administration since 2014. I have a lot of empathy which I think is very important quality for the veterinary profession. I am always ready to listen to any worries or concerns regarding clients' pets and help with advice when needed. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and menagerie of dogs and cats, some of whom were rescued from work. In winter between October and April, you will find me once a month helping my daughter to run a carriage driving competitions. Lots of fun but can be cold. I am really excited to be part of such an amazing team as Our Veterina have."
