Woodcroft Veterinary Hospital A&E Service | South Manchester
Are you a Registered Veterinary Nurse who enjoys high-quality inpatient nursing, with the added variety of evening A&E work and occasional daytime shifts?
Based at our multi-disciplinary referral hospital we are offering a unique opportunity for an RVN to join our team in a predominantly inpatient-focused role, working within a structured, supportive and well-resourced environment.
The Role:
This position is primarily centred on delivering exceptional inpatient nursing care, with additional exposure to:
- Evening A&E support – assisting with emergency admissions and urgent cases
- Daytime shifts – supporting medical and surgical referral cases
You will be involved throughout the patient’s hospital journey, with a strong focus on continuity of care and maintaining high clinical standards for hospitalised patients.
The Rota – Structured & Predictable:
Average 29.5 hours per week
This role follows a clear 4-week rolling rota:
- Weeks 1 & 3: Monday–Friday, 4:00pm – 10:00pm

Weekend rota:
- 1 in 4 weekends
- Saturday & Sunday, 1:00pm – 11:00pm
- Inpatient care focused
There is no sole charge. You will always be supported by two other RVNs, alongside student nurses and a reception team. Evening shifts are fixed to ensure consistency, while daytime shifts may offer some flexibility where possible.
We are open to considering alternative shift patterns for the right candidate.
