Animal Care Assistant / Patient Care Assistant (PCA/ACA)

Location: V For Vets, Peachman Way, Postwick, Broadland Business Park, Norwich, NR7 7YW
Job type: Full-time, Permanent
Expected hours: 40 hours per week
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience, with regular performance and development reviews
Start date: By agreement

Join Norwich’s growing Independent Veterinary Practice

V For Vets is an independent, vet-owned veterinary practice founded and led by two experienced veterinary surgeons.

Since opening in December 2025, we have grown rapidly and are now entering an exciting new stage of development. After seven successful months of caring for pets across Norwich and Norfolk, we are expanding our team and looking for a kind, reliable and enthusiastic Animal Care Assistant / Patient Care Assistant to join us.

We care for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles and other exotic pets, with facilities designed to support everything from preventative healthcare and consultations to surgery, diagnostic imaging, hospitalisation and emergency care.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to build a meaningful, long-term career in veterinary care while working within a supportive and genuinely independent practice.

The role

As an Animal Care Assistant, you will play an important part in the daily running of the hospital and the care of our patients.

Your responsibilities may include:

Caring for hospitalised dogs, cats and exotic pets
Feeding, walking, cleaning and providing comfort to inpatients
Supporting veterinary surgeons and registered veterinary nurses during consultations, procedures and patient recovery
Preparing consultation rooms, theatres and clinical areas
Cleaning and maintaining kennels, wards and equipment
Completing laundry, sterilisation, restocking and general housekeeping duties
Monitoring patients and reporting any concerns to the clinical team
Assisting with the safe handling and restraint of animals
Performing reception, administration and client communication duties
Helping maintain the high clinical, hygiene and customer-service standards expected throughout the practice

The role will involve physical work, including cleaning, lifting, bending and spending extended periods on your feet. Some evening and weekend work will be required as part of the practice rota.

About you

We are looking for someone who is:

Kind, compassionate and genuinely passionate about animal welfare
Reliable, punctual and committed to supporting the wider team
Proactive and willing to take responsibility for completing tasks
Calm and professional in a busy clinical environment
Comfortable working with animals of different sizes, species and temperaments
Confident communicating with colleagues and pet owners
Highly attentive to cleanliness, hygiene and infection control
Willing to learn, accept feedback and continue developing
Able to work independently while also contributing positively to a team

Previous experience within a veterinary practice, rescue centre, boarding facility, farm, animal-care setting or customer-facing role would be beneficial, but it is not essential. The right attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn are equally important.

An animal-care qualification would be welcomed but is not required.

Career development

This position may particularly suit someone who hopes to train as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in the future.

We are committed to supporting the development of our team, and progression opportunities may become available for suitable team members based on performance, experience, business requirements and readiness for further training.

Although progression cannot be guaranteed immediately, you will have the opportunity to learn directly from experienced veterinary surgeons and registered veterinary nurses while gaining valuable experience within a modern veterinary practice.

Why join V For Vets?

Join a growing, purpose-built independent veterinary practice
Become part of the team at an exciting stage of the practice’s development
Work directly alongside hands-on veterinary surgeons and registered veterinary nurses
Gain experience caring for dogs, cats and exotic pets
Work in a practice without corporate scripts or shareholder-led targets
Receive structured onboarding, training and ongoing support
Be part of a friendly team where ideas and contributions are valued
Develop your skills within a modern clinical environment
Benefit from genuine opportunities for internal development as the practice continues to grow

What we offer

Competitive salary
Regular performance and development reviews
Five weeks’ annual leave plus bank holidays
Staff discount on veterinary treatment and products
Full onboarding and role-specific training
Ongoing learning and development opportunities
Potential future progression towards veterinary nursing
Health cash plan after one year of service, with the option to upgrade to AVIVA private medical insurance
Modern facilities and equipment
Free on-site parking
A supportive, friendly and independent working environment

About V For Vets

V For Vets was created to provide advanced, compassionate and individualised veterinary care while offering a supportive and fulfilling workplace for veterinary professionals.

Our aim is to build lasting relationships with our clients, provide continuity of care and treat every patient as an individual. We believe that excellent veterinary care begins with a team that feels respected, supported and proud of the work it does.

This is more than an entry-level animal-care position. It is an opportunity to become part of a growing independent practice and help shape what we build next.
