Registered Veterinary Nurse

About the Role

VetPulse is opening a new independently owned small animal practice in Nine Elms, London, and is seeking two RVNs to join the founding team. This is a chance to help shape how the practice works from the beginning, with your ideas welcomed on everything from nursing routines and patient care to how the team shares knowledge and supports one another.

The role is intended to suit nurses who want to play to their strengths, whether that is theatre, nurse consults or a mix of both. The full-time week is 40 hours across a planned shift rota, with no overnight work or on-call rota. The practice plans to begin with weekday opening, then develop shift patterns as the clinic and opening hours grow. Part-time hours are also open for discussion.

The new 142 sqm clinic will include separate dog and cat waiting areas and consulting rooms, a spacious prep room, an in-house IDEXX laboratory, digital X-ray and fluoroscopy, ultrasound, dental equipment, and modern anaesthesia and monitoring systems. One consulting room also has a separate exit for families who need more privacy at a difficult time.
