Company

It has been over two hundred years since our doors first opened in central London and over fifty years since we developed a presence in rural Hertfordshire.

Since that time we have grown to become the UK’s largest and only specialist veterinary institution, offering an exceptional environment for developing commitment and talent among both staff and students. 

We focus on educating the brightest and best students in the veterinary sciences as well as providing support for the veterinary profession.  The College appeared in the popular Channel 4 series 'Inside Natures Giants' and Our Queen Mother Hospital for Animals featured in the critically acclaimed BBC Series Super Vets, which demonstrates how passionate we are about improving the health and welfare of animals.

RVC staff play a key role in ensuring that we maintain our position as one of the leaders in our field; through supporting our academic and research community and maintaining high levels of service within our hospitals, teaching facilities and across the Estate. 

Whether you are seeking a new career challenge or a job that really makes a difference, it’s worth taking a closer look at the RVC. A passion for being the best you can be is something we are most definitely looking for.
