Head Registered Veterinary Nurse - North Kent

£38k - £43k per annum
Full-time
A fantastic opportunity for an experienced RVN ready to step into a leadership role in a genuinely supportive, progressive environment.
This forward-thinking, well-equipped independent North Kent hospital is looking to fill a Head RVN position within a busy, varied clinical setting. You'll be leading from the front, supporting and mentoring your team, while still enjoying a strong clinical focus.
The caseload is diverse and engaging, including orthopaedics, complex medical workups, advanced surgical procedures (including laparoscopic surgeries), and in-depth inpatient care. Whether your passion lies in anaesthesia, wards, ECC, or surgical nursing, you'll be encouraged to develop your interests and shape your role accordingly.
You'll also play a key part in maintaining clinical standards, supporting team development, and ensuring patients receive the highest level of care at every stage of their journey.
You'll be working within a culture that truly understands the value of its nursing team. This is a role where your ideas will be heard, your development prioritised and your wellbeing taken seriously.

 
The Offer:

  • Salary up to £43,000 (DOE)
  • 4-day week (10-hour shifts) with a shared weekend/on-call (1 in 4)
  • A modern, well-invested clinical environment with advanced equipment
  • Generous CPD allowance with certificate support actively encouraged
  • Clear progression pathways, whether that's leadership, clinical specialism, or coaching
  • A genuinely supportive, collaborative team culture where nurses are respected and empowered
This role would suit someone who wants to feel proud of the care they deliver, valued within their team, and excited about where their career is heading.
