Locum Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) – Independent 24hr Hospital | CT Scanner | Spring- Summer 2026 Dates 

📍 SW London 
💰 £20 – £28 Per Hour (DOE)
🕒 Day Shifts | Ad Hoc + Block Dates Available 
 

The Opportunity

Looking for locum shifts within a genuinely high-end, independent hospital setting where your nursing skills will be fully utilised?

GVC is working with a progressive, independently owned small animal hospital group in London, offering a range of locum RVN shifts across April, May and into summer.

This is a standout opportunity for an RVN who enjoys working in a well-equipped, fast-paced clinical environment, with exposure to more advanced cases than typical first-opinion practice.

If you’re looking for flexible locum work within a supportive team, modern facilities, and a practice that genuinely values high clinical standards, this role ticks all the boxes.

The Practice

This is an independent, locally owned veterinary hospital based in SW London, offering round-the-clock care alongside first-opinion services.

They are known for delivering an exceptional standard of patient care, combining a compassionate, community-focused approach with advanced clinical capabilities.
 

Key highlights include:

• 24-hour hospital-level care
• Advanced diagnostics including CT scanner
• Wide range of services – from routine care to specialist procedures (including spinal surgery)
• Strong, collaborative team culture
• Passionate about animal welfare and client care
• Independent practice with a modern, forward-thinking approach

This is not your typical locum role; you’ll be working in a setting that offers more clinical exposure, better equipment, and a genuinely progressive environment.

The Role

You’ll be working as a Locum RVN within a busy hospital environment, supporting a team of vets, RVNs and support staff across a varied caseload.

Duties will include:

• Inpatient care and monitoring
• Theatre support and anaesthesia
• Nurse consultations where required
• Supporting the wider clinical team in delivering high standards of care

Dates Available

Multiple Dates available throughout April and then on into Summer. 

(Full shift list available on request)

Why This Role Stands Out

✔️ Independent hospital group (not corporate)
✔️ CT + advanced clinical exposure
✔️ 24-hour care environment
✔️ London locations – SW London + West London 
✔️ Friendly, supportive and highly skilled team
✔️ Opportunity to work beyond standard first-opinion nursing

About You

• RCVS Registered Veterinary Nurse
• Confident working within a busy clinical environment
• Comfortable with inpatient care, theatre and general nursing duties
• Previous hospital or high caseload experience desirable
