We are recruiting for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our float team across Greater London.

This unique role is ideal for an RVN who enjoys variety, flexibility, and working across different practice settings — from small sole charge clinics to busy multi-vet branches and 24-hour hospitals. If you are searching for veterinary nurse jobs in London with flexibility and security, this float role offers the perfect mix.

About the role
This position offers variety across our network of practices in Central, South, East, North, West London and parts of Essex. You will not be expected to cover all areas; instead, you will work with our locum coordinator to ensure shifts are allocated in accessible locations.

• Full-time or part-time hours available

• Weekend work included, but not on a fixed rotation — offering flexibility to plan around personal commitments

• Sundays and bank holidays are worked at your nearest 24-hour hospital

• No on-call requirements

• Accommodation may be available depending on location

This role is a great alternative to locuming, offering job security, a fixed monthly income (with opportunities for extra shifts), and the chance to gain experience in different practice environments without the stress of IR35, limited companies, or umbrella arrangements.

Key details

• Type: Small animal, float role across multiple practices

• Hours: Full-time or part-time considered

• Weekends: Included but flexible, with Sundays and bank holidays at nearest hospital

• OOH: None – covered by hospital teams
