Part-Time Registered Veterinary Nurse in Epsom

VA543 – Part‑Time Registered Veterinary Nurse

As one of the first spa towns in the UK, famous for its miracle salts, Epsom is home to one of our GP first opinion practices that is a short canter away from the racecourse. While you may not get a full spa treatment you will certainly be welcomed with VIP treatment by a settled team, looking for an additional RVN to support them on a part‑time basis.

About your new role!

This part‑time RVN role involves 8.5‑hour shifts on Tuesdays and Thursdays, ideal for a newly qualified RVN with ample support, or for someone with a few years under their belt looking to reduce hours.

You will be working alongside a settled team including a full‑time vet, full‑time RVN, VCA, and two part‑time receptionists, providing front‑of‑house support to our long‑term client base so you can focus on patient care.

Your rota will include a 1:4 Saturday rotation and a 1:10 Saturday rotation at Stone Lion Hospital in Wimbledon. You will be rota ‘d to one bank holiday per year. There are NO on‑call requirements.
