A fantastic opportunity to join a well-established, forward-thinking veterinary hospital in South West London that is growing steadily due to increasing caseloads and continued investment in its clinical teams. This is an excellent role for a Registered Veterinary Nurse who enjoys being hands-on, values high clinical standards, and wants to feel truly supported in their role, whether that's developing confidence, expanding practical skills, or taking on more responsibility over time. The team is particularly keen to welcome nurses who enjoy using their full skillset, stay calm when things get busy, and take pride in supporting student nurses and apprentices as they grow. If you enjoy being part of a collaborative, respectful environment where nurses are listened to and valued, this could be a great fit.
 
The Role:
 
You'll be trusted to work to a high standard and treated as an integral part of the clinical team. Day-to-day, this includes:
  • Delivering consistently high-quality nursing care and advocating for patient welfare
  • Supporting vets with procedures, diagnostics, and patient monitoring
  • Providing warm, professional client care and clear communication
  • Working closely with colleagues across departments as a true team player
  • Supporting and mentoring student nurses and apprentices
  • Maintaining a clean, safe, and well-organised clinical environment
  • Deliver high-quality inpatient and emergency care
About You:
 
This role would suit an RVN who:
  • Is RCVS registered
  • Is friendly, approachable, and professional in both team and client interactions
  • Communicates clearly and calmly, even under pressure
  • Is proactive, practical, and enjoys being involved clinically
  • Takes pride in supporting and developing others
  • Values teamwork and a positive, respectful culture
The Offer:
  • Salary: £30,000-£40,000 DOE
  • 7 days on / 14 days off rota
  • CPD: £1,000 annual budget with encouragement to use it
  • Clear progression and development pathways
  • Pension enrolment after 3 months
  • Holiday: 20 days annual leave plus TOIL for bank holidays worked
  • 1 extra day of annual leave per year of service (up to 10 years)
  • Your birthday off
If you're a nurse who wants to feel supported, respected, and able to grow, rather than just filling a rota, this role is well worth considering.
