About your new role!
You will be working alongside another RVN and an experienced VNA/SVN on your shift as well as our highly experienced permanent night vets (1 vet per night).
You will also be supported by the late shift day nurses, who cross over for the start of your shift to assist in handover and for any early evening emergency support.
We are open to reviewing applicants from a range of relevant experience levels. As an RVN experienced in ECC, or an RVN with a keen interest to develop your skills further this role is ideal!

This role involves a 4 on 8 off rotation with shift times being 7.30pm-8.30am and averages 35 hours per week. This is inclusive of an additional 18 shifts per year to help support with annual leave, so there is the upmost continuity for the hospital.
Wanstead not only has its own first opinion client base but also sees the internal referral cases from the surrounding branches in East, North and Central London, giving you a plethora of diverse cases a hospital night RVN could dream of.
There is fantastic diagnostic support at Wanstead, with a CT scanner, a commercial laboratory.
Wanstead itself is on the outskirts of urban Essex but is close enough to rural life for that countryside relief. Transport links into London do not get better than a short walk to a Central Line tube station!
