Summary

Registered Veterinary Nurse – Referral Focus
4-Day Week | 1 in 9 Saturdays | No OOH | Leading Referral Caseload | Greater Manchester

✔ Immerse yourself in advanced referral work – MRI, CT, neuro & ortho cases

The Opportunity

If you're a Registered Veterinary Nurse ready to move beyond the routine and into a world of advanced diagnostics, surgical excellence and true team collaboration — this is your next step.

This is not just another nursing job. At this RCVS-accredited referral hospital, you’ll gain hands-on experience in every aspect of modern veterinary nursing, including direct involvement in MRI, CT, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, and complex case care. You’ll be encouraged to lean into the parts of nursing you love most — whether that’s surgery, inpatient care, client education or diagnostic support.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Specialist nursing, every day – work alongside experienced surgeons and handle referral-level cases rarely seen in general practice

  
  

• 4-day working week – reclaim your time while growing your clinical skillset

  
  

• One 1 in 9 Saturdays – with no nights, no Sundays and no bank holidays

  
  

• Supportive team culture – your growth is nurtured, your suggestions are heard, and your wellbeing is prioritised

  
  

• Collaborative learning – daily exposure to high-level cases that expand your confidence and capability

  
  What You’ll Bring

  We’re looking for an RVN who is:

  • Passionate about surgical and inpatient nursing, with strong monitoring and anaesthesia skills

    
    

  • RCVS-registered and confident in a fast-paced, referral-level environment

    
    

  • A great communicator, with both clients and team

    
    

  • Eager to learn, adapt, and contribute to a positive workplace culture

    
    

  • Interested in developing your niche within a flexible and supportive setting

    
    

    Whether you’re already working in referral, or a first opinion RVN ready to step up, you’ll find a home here where your ambitions are matched by opportunity.

    The Role

    • 38.6 hours per week across 4 days

      
      

    • 1 in 9 Saturdays only

      
      

    • No OOH, no bank holidays

      
      

    • Additional optional inpatient bonus shifts available

      
      

    • Full access to all departments: inpatient care, theatre, diagnostics, imaging, nurse consults, and client-facing duties

      
      What’s On Offer

      • Structured support from a team of skilled surgeons, imaging specialists, and fellow nurses

        
        

      • Career development opportunities including CPD funding and mentoring

        
        

      • A culture that celebrates ideas and invests in equipment that enhances patient care

        
        

      • A respected, well-established referral setting with outstanding RCVS accreditation

        
        

      • A management team that supports autonomy, clinical curiosity and work-life balance
