Job description

Overview

Part-Time RVN – Fixed Term Contract (12 Months) – Northwest London

• Competitive salary – £17,600–£19,250 pro rata (£32,000–£35,000 FTE), depending on experience
• Part-time, 12-month fixed term contract – averaging 22 hours per week across 3 days (Tuesday essential) plus 1:4 Saturday mornings
• Supportive, close-knit team – work alongside experienced vets, RVNs, and trainee nurses in a friendly and collaborative practice
• Excellent facilities & hospital backup – consult room with garden access, open prep area, and support from a 24-hour sister hospital

An established first opinion GP practice in the heart of Northwest London is seeking a passionate and dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) to join their team on a part-time, fixed term contract. This exciting opportunity has arisen as one of their valued RVNs begins their parenting adventure later this year.

About the Role

This is a 12-month fixed term position, averaging 22 hours per week across three days, with flexibility on scheduling (although Tuesday availability is essential). The role also includes participation in a 1:4 Saturday morning rotation.

This opportunity would suit an RVN looking to step away from full-time locum work and enjoy the stability and benefits of a permanent role, without making a long-term commitment. With part-time hours, it also offers the perfect balance for pursuing personal hobbies, volunteering, or picking up occasional locum shifts elsewhere.

Why Join This Practice?

The practice offers a welcoming and supportive environment, with a generous consult room that opens directly into a garden, plus an open prep area, kennels, and theatre facilities. The successful candidate will be working alongside an experienced and supportive team, including long-standing vet Joanne, a dedicated RVN team, and trainee nurses who pride themselves on teamwork and camaraderie.

Patients benefit from seamless support via the practice’s sister 24-hour Veterinary Hospital in Northolt, ensuring excellent OOH and specialist care when needed. The team is further supported by an experienced regional manager.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary: £17,600–£19,250 pro rata (£32,000–£35,000 FTE), dependent on experience
• 6.6 weeks annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata)
• CPD budget each year plus up to 2 days’ paid CPD leave
• Paid 30-minute lunch breaks
• Access to a private medical healthcare scheme at a reduced rate, with cashback incentives
