Are you a Registered Veterinary Nurse looking to take the next step into referral nursing, but don't want to work in a large, busy hospital environment?
This growing independent referral service is looking for an RVN to join its small, close-knit team in Wimbledon.
You'll gain valuable referral experience in a more personal and manageable setting, working alongside experienced clinicians and nurses without the intensity of a large referral hospital — and importantly, you'll enjoy a role with no weekend, out-of-hours or on-call commitments.
Whether you're an experienced referral nurse or a junior RVN looking to take your first step into referral, the team is more interested in finding the right person and personality than a specific level of experience. If you're kind, collaborative, eager to learn and looking for a long-term opportunity where you can genuinely develop your skills, this could be an excellent next step.
The Role
This is a varied referral nursing role combining clinical, client-facing and organisational responsibilities. The service focuses primarily on planned referral work and day procedures, rather than a high-pressure hospital environment with a constant stream of critically unwell inpatients.
You'll have the opportunity to develop your role around your own interests, whether that's:
- Assisting with procedures
- Anaesthesia and patient monitoring
- Client communication and discharges
- Administration and appointment coordination
- Equipment and kit management
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
An interest in anaesthesia is welcomed but not essential. The team is keen to support nurses in developing their individual strengths and professional interests.
The role is ideal for an RVN who wants to experience specialist referral nursing while working in a smaller, more manageable setting, with the time and support to build confidence and develop professionally.
The Practice
This independent specialist referral service has an established reputation for delivering high-quality specialist-led veterinary care, supported by a large main hospital and a growing network of services across the UK.
The Wimbledon service is an established and growing London location, offering the opportunity to join a team that is continuing to develop. You'll work within a dedicated referral environment alongside experienced clinicians, with access to specialist equipment and opportunities for ongoing development.
The Team & Culture
The team is friendly, inclusive and supportive, with a genuine focus on providing excellent patient and client care. Personality and team fit are just as important as experience. They're looking for someone who is kind, collaborative, willing to learn and keen to develop.
You don't need extensive referral experience or an anaesthesia certificate. Junior RVNs are welcome to apply!
The team will support you in developing your own interests, whether that's clinical work, anaesthesia, client care, consultations or the organisational side of the service.
