Ready to join a close-knit, values-driven team where laughter is part of the culture? This flexible RVN role at Neighbourhood Vets offers structured weekend rotas with genuine time off in lieu, brilliant support, and clear pathways into senior or leadership roles.
No out-of-hours work or Bank Holiday cover required. Weekend work is daytime only via structured rota (1 in 4 full weekends 9am-7pm; 1 in 8 Saturday mornings 8:30am-3pm) with time off in lieu.
This full-time position offers a refreshing approach to nursing practice at a 20-vet practice in SE London that has built something genuinely special over the past decade. You'll work four days per week (Monday to Friday), averaging 9.5 hours daily, with a structured weekend rota system: one in four full weekends (Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 7pm) with time off in lieu the following Monday, plus one in eight shorter Saturday shifts (8:30am to 3pm). Importantly, there is no out-of-hours work or Bank Holiday cover, meaning your evenings and holidays remain your own.
Neighbourhood Vets comprises a main hospital in East Dulwich on Lordship Lane, plus branch clinics in Crofton Park and Penge. The team describes itself as close, caring, and fun—and notably, several team members have been there since opening. The practice is built on doing the right thing for staff, clients, and their pets.
