Salary £37,000 | Dual-Site Leadership
Are you a Senior RVN ready to step into leadership, or an established Head Nurse looking for a fresh challenge? We are seeking a dynamic and inspiring Head Veterinary Nurse to lead the clinical teams across two neighbouring branches in the North London area.
This is a unique opportunity to oversee the nursing operations of two sites just one mile apart, offering a varied working week and the chance to truly shape the culture and clinical standards of both teams.
The Role: Leadership in Action
In this position, you are the clinical heartbeat of the nursing team. You will split your week between two local branches, ensuring exceptional care is delivered consistently while mentoring and developing your colleagues.
- Clinical Excellence: Lead by example with nurse-led appointments, Schedule 3 activities, and surgical support.
- Team Development: Inspire, develop, and mentor your nursing team, helping them reach their full potential.
- Operational Standards: Maintain the highest levels of regulatory compliance and patient care protocols.
- Diverse Caseload: Manage everything from admissions and discharges to complex surgical monitoring.
The Rota & Balance
- Weekend Rotation: 1 in 3 Saturdays (branch-based), or a mix of Saturday/Sunday shifts at a local 24-hour hospital (1 in 6 full weekends).
- Out of Hours: Minimal on-call commitment (approx. 2 or 3 weeks per year) and a fair share of Bank Holidays.
- Variety: Experience both community branch life and the fast-paced environment of a major hospital.
What Is On Offer
- Health: Health Cash Plan and 24/7 wellbeing and counselling support.
- Time Off: 5 weeks annual leave (rising with service) + Bank Holidays + an extra day for you for your own relaxation.
- Development: CPD allowance, paid leave days, and fully funded certificates with clear internal career pathways.
- Support: RCVS and VDS fees paid, plus Life Assurance.
- Perks: Season Ticket Loans, Cycle to Work scheme, and exclusive retail/service discounts.

You are an RCVS-registered RVN with a natural flair for leadership. You are confident, compassionate, and passionate about getting the best out of every colleague. Whether you are already a Head Nurse or a Senior RVN with the drive to lead and inspire, we want to hear from you.
