Join the Westside practice as a senior RVN and step into a leadership position within an established, well-resourced team. This full-time role (40 hours per week, Monday to Friday) includes a manageable 1:4 Saturday rota at the branch and 1:10 Saturday rotation at Stone Lion Hospital, with no on-call requirements. You'll benefit from dedicated regional manager support and knowing that out-of-hours care is handled by Stone Lion's 24-hour facility, just 20 minutes away.
Located in one of London's most desirable areas, the practice sits between Battersea and Clapham.

The clinic itself is beautifully equipped with an imaging suite and blood diagnosis suite, allowing the team to perform a full range of GP diagnostic and surgical procedures on site. With 3 vets, 2 RVNs, trainee nurses, and reception colleagues, you'll never be short of support.
