Nursing Team Leader - Scotland - Leading Referral Hospital

£35k - £40k per annum
Full-time
Scotland

Nursing Team Leader – RVN | Central Scotland, UK

Salary: £35,000–£40,000 DOE 
Hours: 40 hours per week, including weekends and on-call rota
Job Type: Permanent

Are you an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse ready to step into a leadership role within a modern referral hospital in Central Scotland? This is a fantastic opportunity to combine hands-on nursing with team leadership in a growing, forward-thinking specialist environment.

We’re supporting a state-of-the-art referral hospital seeking a confident RVN to lead their Wards Nursing team. You’ll play a key role in shaping and developing an exceptional referral nursing service while continuing to grow clinically alongside an expanding specialist team.

The Opportunity

This is more than a ward role – it’s your chance to build, influence and lead.

You’ll be:

  • Leading ward rounds, handovers and infection control to ensure a safe, organised clinical environment
  • Supporting complex referral and intensive care cases
  • Mentoring and developing RVNs and PCAs through coaching, CPD and regular feedback
  • Working collaboratively with clinicians to ensure seamless patient care
  • Contributing to quality improvement initiatives and hospital development projects
  • Supporting client communication and ensuring an excellent patient and client journey

You’ll be part of a busy referral setting where caseloads can be high – but you’ll always be supported by a collaborative, team-focused environment committed to gold-standard care.

About You

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Is a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RCVS registered)
  • Has at least 3 years’ post-qualification experience
  • Has leadership experience (formal or informal)
  • Is confident making clinical decisions independently
  • Thrives in a fast-paced referral or hospital environment
  • Is passionate about mentoring others and building a positive team culture

Referral or hospital experience is advantageous but not essential for the right candidate with strong ward and leadership experience.

Benefits & Package

  • Salary £35,000–£40,000 DOE
  • 40-hour week with shared weekend and on-call rota
  • Generous holiday allowance
  • CPD allowance with support for further qualifications/certificates
  • Supportive, collaborative referral environment
  • Opportunity to influence clinical standards and service development

This is a brilliant opportunity for an ambitious RVN who wants to step up, shape a service, and make a lasting impact within a specialist referral setting.
