Love a busy hospital then Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital might just be your next match.

​

Nestled in the heart of Wimbledon Village, around a 10-minute walk from Wimbledon station, giving you easy access to the District Line and the rest of London, our 24-hour hospital is looking for an RVN to join our large and experienced nursing team. This is a rare opportunity to join Stone Lion, and RVN roles here don’t come up often.

​

The Rota

This is a full-time role with a 1:4 full weekend rota, 1-2 bank holidays per year.

 There is no on-call requirement for this role

​

What will you be getting yourself into:

Stone Lion is a very busy 24-hour hospital with a varied caseload covering routine procedures, emergency and critical care, alongside internal referrals from surrounding Goddard practices.

​

You’ll get plenty of opportunity to get stuck into:

– Ward nursing

– Theatre and anaesthesia

– Inpatient care and procedures

– Consult support

– Emergency and critical care

– Keeping everything clean, organised and ready for the next patient

– Acting as Charge Nurse on weekends when required

​

And because no two days in a hospital are quite the same, you’ll have the chance to work across different areas rather than being permanently positioned in one end of the building.

Stone Lion also has a fantastic range of expertise on site, including orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery, dermatology and physiotherapy, as well as all the facilities you’d expect from an RCVS Accredited 24-hour hospital. We’re also ISFM Silver Award Cat Friendly, because our feline patients have made it very clear that they expect standards.

​

Who are we looking for:

We’re looking for an RVN with good hospital and anaesthesia experience, who enjoys a busy and exciting environment and likes being part of a professional and experienced team.

Or maybe you’ve been working in first opinion for a while and are ready to take your nursing skills to the next level.

​

What’s on offer:

£32,000–£36,000 per annum

– 6.6 weeks annual leave, including bank holidays

– CPD budget every year + up to 2 days’ paid CPD leave

– Paid 30-minute lunch breaks

– Private medical healthcare scheme at a reduced rate

– Medical cashback incentives
