No OOH. No Sundays. No Bank Holidays. 4-day week. Varied, high-quality nursing.
Feeling ready for a role that fits around your life, not the other way around?
If you are a Registered Veterinary Nurse who loves clinical nursing but feels worn down by long weeks, unpredictable hours, or feeling like “just another pair of hands”, this could be the reset you have been looking for.
This role is about practising proper nursing, being trusted for your skills, and having time to enjoy life outside work again.
The Opportunity
We are working with a well-established, two-site veterinary hospital in the Doncaster area that has quietly built an excellent reputation for both clinical standards and team culture. This is a nurse training practice that genuinely values RVNs as professionals, not just support staff.
They are looking for an RVN to join their experienced nursing team across their main hospital site and a nearby branch. The role is deliberately varied, combining nurse consultations, inpatient care, theatre, prep, and schedule 3 work, and it can be shaped around your interests and strengths.
You will be joining a team that takes pride in what they do, invests in their people, and believes great patient care starts with looking after the team properly.
Why This Role Is Different
Proper nursing, properly supported
You will work alongside certificate holders in surgery, medicine, diagnostic imaging, and anaesthesia and analgesia. Nurses are actively involved in patient care, not sidelined, and your input is genuinely valued.
Interesting, high-quality caseload
This is a hospital environment with laparoscopic equipment, dental radiography, and vets performing laparoscopy and orthopaedic surgery. The caseload is varied and stimulating, ideal if you enjoy learning and developing clinically.
A rota that respects your life
There are no out-of-hours shifts, no Sundays, and no bank holidays. Inpatients are cared for on site overnight by an external provider, so continuity of care is maintained without impacting your personal time.
A team that wants you to stay
This is a stable, supportive team with a shared vision of delivering the best possible service to clients and patients. They are looking for someone who wants to grow with the practice, not just fill a gap.
Your Journey Here
In your first month, you will focus on settling in, getting to know the team, understanding how the hospital and branch work together, and building confidence with systems and equipment.
By three months, you will be comfortable across the different nursing areas, contributing fully to consults, theatre, and inpatient care, and starting to shape the role around what you enjoy most.
By six months, you will be a confident, valued member of the team, potentially pursuing additional training or qualifications, and playing an active role in maintaining and improving clinical standards.
