Night RVN – Exciting Emergency and Critical Care Role

Looking to take your nursing skills into the fast-paced and rewarding world of ECC?

We are working with a leading, well-established veterinary hospital in Cambridgeshire, known for its exceptional standards of care and collaborative approach. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Registered Veterinary Nurse who enjoys emergency and critical care and is looking for a structured night rota that offers true work-life balance.

About the Role

This permanent, night nurse role operates on a 7 nights on, 14 nights off rotation, offering a predictable, lifestyle-friendly pattern that provides plenty of free time between blocks.

You’ll be working as part of a dedicated night team, alongside a veterinary surgeon, a fellow RVN and a receptionist, ensuring 24/7 care for patients in a busy hospital setting. The caseload is varied and fast-paced, with a strong focus on emergency and critical care, giving you the opportunity to fully utilise your nursing skills in a supportive environment.

This is an ideal role for a nurse who thrives under pressure and enjoys the challenge of ECC nursing, all while working in a collaborative, well-supported team.

What We’re Looking For

  • RCVS-registered nurse with a passion for high-quality care
  • Someone who enjoys fast-paced work and the unique rewards of night shifts
  • A great team player with strong communication skills
  • Enthusiasm to develop new skills — experience in ECC is great but not essential, as full training is provided

What’s On Offer

  • Competitive salary, starting from £30,000 per year, dependent on experience
  • Generous holiday allowance including birthday leave
  • Full support for ongoing CPD and career development
  • Access to a comprehensive benefits package, including wellbeing support, professional fee coverage, and employee discounts
  • Real opportunities for career progression, especially for nurses with a keen interest in ECC

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than just a night nurse role — it’s a chance to join a progressive, patient-focused practice where your skills will be fully utilised and your development supported. If you’ve been looking for a structured rota, a dynamic caseload, and the chance to work alongside a brilliant team of vets and nurses, this could be the perfect fit.
