Registered Veterinary Nurse – 24-Hour Flagship Hospital – South West London

A rare opportunity has come up for an experienced RVN to join a leading 24-hour hospital in South West London. This is one of the group’s flagship sites, offering exposure to an advanced caseload, excellent facilities, and a stable, supportive team.

Perfect for a nurse who thrives in a busy, referral-style environment—without the formality of a referral centre. The team is friendly, collaborative and experienced, with many having worked at the hospital for over 10 years.

The Role

  • Full-time, 40 hours per week

  • Shifts: 7:30am–4:00pm or 12:00pm–8:30pm

  • 1 in 6 weekends

  • Minimal bank holiday cover (typically 1–3 per year)

  • Involvement across inpatient care, consults, diagnostic imaging, CT, orthopaedics, and soft tissue surgery

  • Salary up to £36,000 DOE

  • £750 CPD allowance with full support and encouragement to develop clinically

What They’re Looking For

  • Minimum 2 years’ experience as a UK RVN

  • A confident, proactive nurse comfortable in a hospital setting

  • Someone who enjoys variety and working in a larger, multidisciplinary team

The Team
It’s an established and friendly team, currently made up of:

  • 7 day vets and 3 night vets

  • 7 day RVNs and 2 night RVNs

  • 3 student veterinary nurses (SVNs)

  • 4 veterinary care assistants (VCAs)

  • 5 client care advisors (CCAs)

This hospital is also a registered nurse training practice and graduate vet residency provider.

The Hospital

  • Modern facilities including CT, ultrasound, digital x-ray, endoscopy, laparoscopy, in-house lab and laser surgery

  • Dedicated cat ward and theatre

  • Nurse training and mentoring opportunities

Location

  • Situated in South West London with excellent public transport options

  • Free parking available within walking distance

  • Easy access to major road links, Overground, rail, and Underground services

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a modern, well-resourced hospital with a great team and varied caseload.
