Cleaning kennels, treatment areas, and equipment to ensure a hygienic environment
Managing stock levels of medical supplies and ordering as necessary
Providing excellent customer service to pet owners and visitors
Ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations at all times

We want our colleagues to be as diverse as our clients. Our teams are inclusive and celebrate difference, so if you meet our role requirements, we’d love to hear from you.

Location: EH12 7UF

We take our inspiration from pets in embracing people from all walks of life, and we value, respect and celebrate difference. We encourage our people to be their best selves so that we can create a better world for Pets, our Planet, and People. Our ambition is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and we are intentional in addressing and removing barriers to create opportunities for the exceptional talent and potential in our communities.
