Night RVN – 7 Nights On, 14 Nights Off | Woodstock

£27,832 pro rata (£35,000 FTE) | Part-time | 7 Nights On / 14 Off | 24-Hour Hospital

Are you a Registered Veterinary Nurse looking for a night role with an excellent work-life balance?

An exciting opportunity has become available for a Night RVN to join a busy 24-hour veterinary hospital in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. With a 7 nights on, 14 nights off rota, this role offers the chance to work in a supportive hospital environment while enjoying extended periods away from work.

The role would suit an RVN with a passion for emergency and critical care, although previous ECC experience isn't essential if you're keen to develop your skills within a hospital setting.

The Role

You’ll work 7 consecutive nights followed by 14 nights off, with shifts running from 7:45pm to 7:45am.

During your week of nights, you’ll work alongside an experienced member of the night nursing team and a dedicated night vet. Additional support is also available from two support nurses on call.

The hospital has a varied and busy caseload, giving you exposure to a wide range of inpatient and emergency cases.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing high-quality patient care throughout the night
• Monitoring and nursing hospitalised inpatients
• Supporting emergency and critical care cases
• Delivering excellent out-of-hours patient care
• Communicating with and supporting clients
• Working collaboratively with the night vet and wider nursing team
• Contributing to a high standard of patient and client care

About You

We’re looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) who enjoys hospital nursing and is passionate about providing excellent patient care.

You’ll ideally have:

• RCVS registration
• Small animal nursing experience
• An interest in emergency and critical care
• A calm and organised approach to overnight nursing
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A commitment to high standards of patient and client care

Previous ECC experience is welcomed but not essential. This could also be a great opportunity for an RVN looking to develop their hospital and emergency nursing skills.

The Rota & Salary

• 7 nights on / 14 nights off
• 7:45pm – 7:45am
• Part-time position
• £35,000 FTE / £27,832 pro rata
• Annual salary paid evenly throughout the year
• Paid annual leave
• Bank holiday entitlement
• CPD leave
• Additional CPD allowance

The 7-on, 14-off pattern provides plenty of extended time away from work and could also offer flexibility for those looking to take on additional shifts or commitments during their time off.

About the Hospital

This is a busy 24-hour veterinary hospital with a varied caseload and an experienced, collaborative team.

The hospital has recently undergone refurbishment and benefits from modern facilities including a CT scanner and digital X-ray, supporting the team in providing high-quality diagnostic and emergency care.

You’ll be joining an established night team with four night vets working on a 1 week on / 3 weeks off rota, alongside experienced nursing colleagues and additional overnight support.

The hospital is located on the edge of the Cotswolds in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, with excellent access to Oxford city centre.

Benefits & Development

Alongside the attractive night rota, you’ll have access to:

• £580 CPD allowance
• CPD leave
• Internal CPD within the 24-hour hospital
• Funded certificates
• Internal career pathways
• Access to clinical committees
• Health Cash Plan from day one
• 24/7 counselling and wellbeing support
• Life Assurance – 3x salary
• RCVS and VDS fees paid
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Season ticket loans
• Discounts on veterinary products and services

Why Apply?

This is a great opportunity for an RVN looking for a hospital-based night nursing role without the traditional full-time night rota.

With 7 nights working followed by 14 nights off, a supportive overnight team, modern hospital facilities and opportunities to develop your ECC and clinical skills, you'll have the opportunity to build your career while maintaining a strong work-life balance.
