Are you a passionate RVN looking for something more than the average night shift? Do you want to be part of shaping a brand-new, independent veterinary hospital from the ground up – a place where your input truly matters and your professional growth is genuinely supported, even out of hours?Rugby Vets is opening a brand-new, independent veterinary hospital in Rugby, and we’re looking for experienced, forward-thinking RVNs who are ready to take the next step in their careers to join our dedicated night team. This initial phase of recruitment is focused on building a core clinical team, but if your ambition lies in clinical leadership, team development, or operational management, we offer exciting future opportunities available for those with the right skills, mindset, and drive.
This is a rare opportunity to join from the very beginning and help shape the culture, set the standards, and build something truly exceptional alongside a supportive leadership team that genuinely values and empowers its nursing team.
From your working environment to your rota, your wellbeing is a top priority. And because we believe our success is driven by the contributions of the whole team, you’ll benefit from a profit share scheme that recognises your impact from day one.
We’ll be equipped to deliver the highest standards of patient care, diagnostics and surgery from the moment we open our doors, with everything you’d expect from a referral-level facility, including a CT scanner, DR X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, laparoscopy, an in-house Idexx lab, and more. We’re committed to building this the right way, with a dedicated out-of-hours and night team in place from the outset to deliver 24/7 care. Our hospital will be the only practice in the area offering 24/7 care, including overnight hospitalisation and advanced diagnostic services such as CT. Conveniently located in the heart of Rugby, we anticipate a rapid growth in our client base, both within the local community and beyond. Our location and facilities put you at the centre of a thriving, fast-growing practice, with a diverse caseload. We’re currently looking for experienced RVNs to join our dedicated night team and help shape our hospital in its foundational phase. As we build the night service, we’re offering flexibility around the rota to help you find the balance that works best for you. Whether that’s a 5-on, 10-off pattern or something a little different, we’re happy to explore the options that suit your lifestyle and support your long-term career growth.
You’ll benefit from clear development pathways and structured support, with opportunities to grow into advanced clinical or leadership roles, all within a workplace where every team member is genuinely valued, supported, and rewarded.
