Not all nursing roles are created equal — some offer that rare mix of challenge, autonomy, and the chance to make a real difference when it matters most. This is one of those roles.
A well-established veterinary hospital is looking for a Night Registered Veterinary Nurse to join their dedicated out-of-hours team. Working overnight, you’ll be at the heart of patient care, providing hands-on nursing support, triaging urgent cases, and helping to deliver gold-standard care to inpatients through the quiet hours.
This is a permanent position, working on a rolling rota of 4 nights on, 8 nights off, giving you the perfect balance between work and life.
What’s on Offer
- Competitive salary tailored to your experience.
- A regular and predictable rota, designed to support your work-life balance.
- Generous benefits package, including professional fees covered, access to CPD, enhanced family leave, health and wellness support, and more.
- A supportive clinical environment where nurses are encouraged to develop advanced skills and take an active role in inpatient care and emergency cases.
The Role at a Glance
- Leading overnight nursing care for hospitalised patients.
- Assisting the vet with emergency admissions and urgent procedures.
- Managing nurse-led patient handovers between the night and day teams.
- Triage and coordination of incoming emergency calls.
- Helping to maintain the clinical areas, ensuring they are fully prepared for day shift handovers.
Who They’re Looking For
- An RCVS Registered Veterinary Nurse with a proactive approach and a passion for providing exceptional patient care.
- Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and enjoys working closely with vets and fellow nurses.
- Previous emergency/critical care experience is desirable, but a confident all-rounder with a keen interest in ECC will also be considered.
- A nurse who values teamwork and communication, especially when it comes to clear and thorough handovers.
