An exciting opportunity to be part of something brand new

GVC are delighted to be assisting with the opening of a brand-new veterinary clinic in South East London, due to open at the end of November.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an RVN who wants more than just a nursing role. You'll be joining at the very beginning and will have the chance to help shape the culture, processes and development of a new practice from day one.

The clinic will offer modern, purpose-built facilities, located on the ground floor of a new residential development. The team is expected to grow into a 2–3 vet practice, creating a close-knit environment where your contribution will genuinely make a difference.

You'll also have the support of an experienced branch partner with another successful local practice and an excellent track record of staff retention.

You'll work 4 days per week, with a 1 in 6 weekend rota based at a nearby 24-hour hospital. There are excellent opportunities to develop your nursing skills, take ownership of areas you're passionate about and help establish the new clinic as it grows.

Typically, you'll:

• Deliver exceptional patient care, including nurse-led appointments and Schedule 3 activities
• Support veterinary consultations, surgeries and procedures
• Monitor patients and manage admissions and discharges
• Provide outstanding client care and build strong client relationships
• Work collaboratively within a supportive team
• Help develop and improve processes within the new practice
• Contribute to building a positive, supportive team culture

About you

We're looking for an RVN with at least one year's experience who is excited by the opportunity to be part of a brand-new practice.

You'll ideally be:

• A Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN)
• Passionate about delivering exceptional patient and client care
• Organised, proactive and keen to improve processes
• Excited by the opportunity to help build and develop a practice
• A supportive team player who enjoys helping colleagues succeed
• Confident working independently while also enjoying being part of a growing team

What’s on offer?

• Salary from £37,500
• 4-day working week
• 1 in 6 weekends at a nearby 24-hour hospital
• £750 CPD allowance per year
• 2 days' paid CPD leave per year
• Funded certificates and internal career pathways
• Access to Clinical Communities and internal CPD
• Access to support from 24-hour hospitals
• RCVS and VDS fees paid

Why this opportunity?

Joining a brand-new clinic is a rare opportunity to help create something from the ground up. You'll have the backing and resources of an established veterinary group, while working within a small, developing team where your ideas and experience will be valued.

If you're an RVN looking for a fresh challenge in South East London, want to help shape a new practice and are excited about being part of its growth, we'd love to hear from you.
