Ecovets is an independent small animal practice in Wandsworth, built around calm, thoughtful and client-focused care.

We’re looking for a confident RVN who enjoys being hands-on, building strong client relationships, and playing an important role in how the practice runs day to day.

This is a great opportunity for a nurse who wants more than just “getting through the list”. You’ll be trusted, supported and genuinely valued as part of the clinical team, with the chance to help shape standards, improve workflows and make a real difference to patients, clients and colleagues.

The role will involve:

Supporting consults, procedures, diagnostics and in-patient care
Monitoring anaesthetics and keeping patients safe and comfortable
Preparing patients for surgery and supporting theatre workflow
Running nurse clinics and preventative care appointments
Educating and reassuring clients with clarity and kindness
Maintaining strong clinical, hygiene and patient care standards
Supporting VCAs and helping the wider team grow
Being confident as the sole charge RVN when needed
Helping improve how we work as the practice grows

We’re looking for someone who is:

RCVS-registered as an RVN
Has at least 3 years’ experience in small animal practice
Confident with anaesthesia, theatre, prep and nurse consults
Comfortable working as sole charge RVN when needed
Calm, kind and thoughtful with patients, clients and the team
A clear communicator who takes pride in doing things properly
Interested in clinical standards and continuous improvement
Happy to get involved in shaping how the nursing side of the practice develops

Support around you

You’ll be part of a close-knit team with vets, nurses, VCAs and client care support around you.

We value nurses as a core part of the clinical team, not just as support staff. Your input, experience and ideas will matter, especially as Ecovets continues to grow.
