Registered Veterinary Nurse - Twilight

We are delighted to open applications for a Twilight Veterinary Nurse to join Rowe Veterinary Group at our purpose-built Veterinary Hospital in Bradley Stoke. This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a 24-hour hospital environment, alongside dedicated referral clinicians, experienced RVNs and a committed out-of-hours team.

If you enjoy working in a busy hospital setting, thrive on variety and want exposure to advanced cases and equipment, this could be the ideal next step in your nursing career.

As part of our twilight team, you will provide high-quality nursing care across a wide range of first opinion and referral cases. This is a varied, hands-on position where you will support patients across multiple disciplines and play a key role in the smooth running of the hospital during the evening period.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Covering nursing duties across prep, theatre, wards and imaging
• Monitoring anaesthesia and sedation for patients undergoing diagnostics, surgery and rechecks
• Assisting in theatre
• Supporting first opinion and referral cases, acting as a key point of contact for clients, including organising admissions and discharges
• Delivering excellent inpatient care within our wards
• Supporting the OOH team with admitting and stabilising emergency cases

Full-time hours are 40 per week, Monday to Friday, 5pm to 2am, with a one-hour unpaid break.

There is a shared bank holiday rota, currently averaging two per year.

We are happy to consider part-time applications and flexible working requests.

Our purpose-built hospital operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, offering advanced treatment options and specialist referral services. You will be part of a collaborative, supportive team environment where clinical standards and patient welfare are at the heart of everything we do.

We are seeking a confident and compassionate RVN who enjoys working in a fast-paced hospital setting. You should be comfortable supporting complex cases, confident in anaesthesia monitoring and motivated to deliver consistently high standards of care.

Experience in referral or emergency work would be advantageous, but is not essential for the right candidate with strong core nursing skills.
