Full job description

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, team-orientated Animal Care Assistant to join our team at Hungerford Vets on a full-time basis to cover 6 months.

Our practices in Hungerford and Pewsey have long been known for their exceptional quality and dedicated professionals. The first of our branches in Hungerford was established in 1976 by original owner Pip Pocock, whose commitment to excellence has been maintained to this day. This strength in our services can be reflected by our status as one of the first veterinary hospitals in the country to receive RCVS accreditation, a seal of quality which we’ve maintained for over 20 years.

How You’ll Make a Difference

As an Animal Care Assistant, you will play an important role in supporting the clinical team to deliver high standards of patient and client care, while helping to ensure the practice environment runs smoothly and safely.

Working under the direction of a Veterinary Surgeon or Registered Veterinary Nurse, you'll support inpatient care, assist with patient handling and restraint, help maintain clinical areas and equipment, and contribute to a positive and compassionate experience for both patients and clients.

Working Pattern

This is a full-time role working 37.5 hours per week.

Key Responsibilities

Assist veterinarians with examinations, treatments, and surgical procedures.

Monitor and care for hospitalised animals.

Administer medications and follow prescribed treatment plans.

Handle and restrain animals during procedures.

Ensure cleanliness and hygiene in animal care areas.

Provide compassionate support to pet owners.

You Might Be a Great Fit If...

You are a reliable and motivated individual who enjoys working as part of a team and is keen to develop within a veterinary environment. You’ll bring:

A caring, professional approach with a genuine interest in animal welfare

Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and clients

Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage tasks effectively in a busy environment

A proactive attitude to learning, with openness to feedback and development

Experience of working with animals in either a clinical or non-clinical setting would be advantageous

How We’ll Support You

At inspiring vet care, we’re committed to supporting your ongoing development and wellbeing. When you join us, you’ll benefit from:

Structured development opportunities, including access to Animal Care Assistant development programmes and apprenticeships

Clear career pathways with progression opportunities into Student Veterinary Nurse roles and beyond

Supportive, collaborative teams focused on delivering high-quality patient and client care

A values-led culture focused on care, community and continuous improvement

What We Offer Our Team

6.6 weeks' annual leave plus your birthday off

Increasing holiday allowance based on length of service

Enhanced family-friendly policies, including maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental and surrogacy pay

Employee wellbeing initiatives including Healthcare Cash Plan and Cycle to Work scheme

Learning and development opportunities via the inspiring vet care Academy

Pension scheme

Discounted veterinary care

Voluntary benefits including Green Cars salary sacrifice scheme and access to discounts and cashback with hundreds of participating retailers

We’re committed to supporting our people through career development opportunities, wellbeing initiatives and access to world-class learning resources.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take the next step in your career, inspiring vet care offers the support, opportunity and community to help you grow.
