Are you an experienced RVN looking for your next exciting opportunity in a busy, supportive, and progressive hospital? Medivet Dartford 24-Hour is offering a 12-month fixed-term contract where you’ll be part of a dynamic team dedicated to delivering exceptional veterinary care around the clock.
Our Dartford hospital is a bustling hub of activity, supporting surrounding Medivet practices with emergency and complex cases. You’ll have access to cutting-edge facilities including digital X-ray, ultrasound, an orthopaedic theatre, dedicated ICU, and a fully equipped in-house laboratory — giving you everything you need to provide gold-standard care. Every day brings something new, from nurse consults and inpatient care to anaesthesia and theatre work, offering true variety and the chance to build on your clinical expertise.
You’ll be working alongside a passionate and skilled team, including certificate-holding vets, experienced RVNs, and a supportive Head Nurse who values development and teamwork. Medivet is committed to helping you grow — whether that’s through funded CPD, internal progression, or simply giving you the space to shine in what you do best.
Dartford itself is a fantastic place to live and work. Perfectly located for easy access to both London and the Kent countryside, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds. Excellent transport links — with London just 35 minutes away by train and quick access to the M25, A2, and Dartford Crossing — make commuting simple. The area offers great value for money compared to inner London, alongside excellent schools, beautiful green parks, and popular shopping destinations like Bluewater. Whether you love the buzz of the city or prefer peaceful weekends outdoors, Dartford offers the balance you’re looking for.
In return for your hard work and commitment, you’ll receive a competitive salary, paid CPD with real opportunities for progression, RCVS and VDS fees covered, access to a health cash plan, 24/7 private GP support, life assurance, and generous holiday entitlement. You’ll also be joining an RCVS-accredited hospital and a nurse training centre — a place where your growth truly matters.
If you’re a compassionate, motivated, and proactive RVN who thrives in a fast-paced environment and loves being part of a close-knit team, we’d love to hear from you. Join us at Medivet Dartford 24-Hour and take the next step in your nursing career — where no two days are the same, and your skills really make a difference.
