Our client’s flagship 24-hour hospital is seeking an experienced and capable Registered Veterinary Nurse who’s ready to take the next step into a senior position. This role is ideal for a confident "all-rounder" who thrives in a busy hospital environment, particularly within emergency and critical care, and is excited to support clinical teams across multiple departments.
This is a full-time position (40 hours per week), offering plenty of variety and scope for progression. You’ll play a key role in maintaining high standards across ECC, consults, theatre, and inpatient wards. When senior team members are on leave, you’ll step in to provide leadership and stability, making this a varied and rewarding rota. For those with a particular interest, there’s room to develop the role into a focused senior area such as theatre, wards, or front-of-house leadership.
You’ll be joining a dynamic and diverse team that includes around 24 vets, 27 RVNs, 14 SVNs, and 7 veterinary care assistants, all supported by a strong and well-regarded reception team. The hospital offers a full range of diagnostics — including a CT scanner and in-house laboratory — and is known for its advanced surgical capabilities, including orthopaedics, soft tissue and minimally invasive procedures. It’s a brilliant environment for experienced RVNs who want to work to their full potential and be part of a hospital that values high clinical standards and team support.
The practice is located on the edge of Essex, with excellent access to central London and surrounded by a vibrant local community known for its cafes, green spaces, and friendly atmosphere — making it a great place to work and live.
Benefits:
  • Salary up to £39,000 DOE
  • 6.6 weeks annual leave including bank holidays
  • CPD budget every year + up to 2 days' paid CPD leave
  • Paid lunch breaks
  • Access to private medical healthcare scheme (at a reduced rate)
  • Medical cashback incentives
If you're a seasoned RVN looking to step into a senior role within a forward-thinking, well-equipped hospital setting, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
