Jobbeschreibung

The night belongs to you. The team has your back.

Contract: Permanent

Location: Sevenoaks, TN13

Closing Date: 4 November 2026, midday

We're looking for an Out-of-Hours Registered Veterinary Nurse to join the dedicated OOH team at our purpose-built hospital in Sevenoaks. If you come alive when the doors are locked and the phones start ringing, love the variety of emergency and critical care, and want your nursing skills to genuinely drive patient care, this is the role for you.

What the night looks like

When the rest of the worlds switched off, you'll be at the heart of our emergency service. Triaging walk-ins and phone calls, monitoring anaesthetics, running fluid therapy and critical care, caring for inpatients across the wards, and keeping things calm when it's anything but. You'll work hand in hand with our OOH vet, and your judgement will matter: this is nursing where you're trusted to think, not just follow.

The kit to do it properly

Three dedicated theatres, separate dog, cat and exotics wards, a full imaging suite including CT, X-ray and ultrasound, plus digital cytology and in-house labs. Everything you need to nurse at your best, right there on site.

Most of our clients have unlimited consults too, so many of the patients you see overnight are ones our daytime teams already know, which means proper handovers and real continuity rather than one-and-done visits.

You'll fit right in if you…

• Are an RVN who thrives on emergency and critical care, and stays steady when things get busy
• Like being trusted to use your clinical judgement and speak up for your patients
• Communicate clearly, with owners at 3am and with the vet you're working alongside
• Want to keep growing, whether that’s an ECC certificate, a new skill, or simply getting sharper at what you already do
• Enjoy being part of a small, tight-knit team who know exactly what this job takes

What's in it for you

• Team spirit: a dedicated OOH team of RVNs, ACAs and vets, so out-of-hours is a career, not something tagged onto a day job
• CPD: support for your development, including certificate study
• Fees: RCVS registration covered
• A real stake: at Pennard, every member of the team is an employee owner of the practice
