Job Description

Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) – Brand New Veterinary Surgery | West London

Salary: £29,000 – £33,000 DOE
Full-Time | 39 Hours Per Week | 4-Day Week

This is not just another Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) role. It is an opportunity to help shape a brand-new, purpose-built veterinary surgery in West London, where nursing is genuinely valued and fully utilised.

A passionate and proactive Registered Veterinary Nurse is sought to become part of the founding team, helping shape how the clinic operates, how the team collaborates, and how exceptional patient care is delivered from day one.

Backed by one of the UK’s largest independent, family-owned veterinary groups, this role offers the chance to combine the excitement of a start-up environment with the support, stability, and career opportunities of an established organisation.

Why This Veterinary Nurse Role is Different

Too many veterinary nursing jobs limit what nurses can do. This one will not.

• Dedicated dental suite
• Separate imaging suite
• Spacious prep area
• Modern inpatient wards
• Advanced veterinary diagnostics

This role offers the rare opportunity to help influence how the practice operates, how teams work together, and how patient care is delivered from the very beginning.

The successful candidate will be encouraged to fully utilise their nursing skills across nurse consultations, Schedule 3 procedures, inpatient care, anaesthesia monitoring, diagnostics, radiography, and client education.

This is an opportunity not just to join a team — but to help build one.
