Full job description

ASL Vets is growing. Our Billericay practice has spent two years building a reputation for genuinely attentive patient care, and this June we opened our doors in Wickford. We're now looking for an experienced Veterinary Care Assistant / Ward Assistant to work across both sites and help us carry that same standard into our newest team.

This is a hands-on clinical and client-facing role for someone who already has real animal care experience under their belt — whether that's in a veterinary practice, a rescue centre, kennels, or a similar setting — and wants to build a career in one. Depending on your experience, there's a genuine route from here into a Veterinary Care Assistant Apprenticeship or the Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) Apprenticeship.

The role at a glance

Sites Billericay and Wickford (you'll work across both)

Hours 40 per week

Shifts Early (08:30–17:00) or Late (10:30–19:00), on a rota

Weekends 1 in 4 Saturdays, 09:00–13:00

Progression Clear pathway to VCA or RVN Apprenticeship, depending on experience

What you'll be doing

Patient & clinical support

Daily animal care — cleaning, feeding, handling, and general husbandry
Assisting vets and nurses during consultations and procedures
Providing calm, confident, safe patient restraint
Monitoring inpatients and delivering their day-to-day care routines
Keeping wards, kennels, and clinical areas clean and genuinely hygienic — not just tidy
Processing lab samples and maintaining equipment sterilisation
Setting clinical spaces up properly ahead of each day's caseload
Stock control and general hospital upkeep
Helping keep patient flow moving smoothly through a busy practice

Client care & reception

Welcoming clients with warm, professional service — often at their most anxious moments
Answering calls and handling enquiries with confidence
Scheduling appointments and managing bookings
Taking payments and keeping records accurate
Responding to emails clearly and supportively
Supporting admissions and keeping clients updated on their pet's care

What we're looking for

Essential

Previous hands-on animal care experience — this could be in a veterinary practice, or transferable experience from a rescue centre, kennels, cattery, grooming, or similar animal-handling environment. This isn't an entry-level role, so we do need you to arrive with real, practical experience rather than enthusiasm alone
Confident, calm animal handling and restraint skills
Comfortable balancing clinical duties with front-of-house client care in the same shift
Reliable, organised, and able to prioritise when the day gets busy
A genuinely compassionate, client-focused approach — in person, on the phone, and by email

Desirable

Experience with laboratory sample processing and sterilisation procedures
Prior exposure to inpatient/ward monitoring
An interest in progressing toward a VCA or RVN apprenticeship

Why join ASL Vets

A supportive, multidisciplinary team where your clinical judgement is trusted, not micromanaged
A genuine, structured pathway into VCA or RVN apprenticeship routes
Broad, hands-on exposure to a wide variety of patients and cases across two sites
The chance to help shape a brand-new site during an exciting growth phase, rather than just join an existing routine
A role where the standard of care you deliver is visible and valued, every day

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: £22,568.00-£26,436.80 per year

Benefits:

Additional leave
Company events
Company pension
Employee discount

Application question(s):

Do you have previous experience working in a veterinary setting?
Are you interested in progressing onto a Veterinary Apprenticeship as part of your career development?
