CMVM / Royal Dick School of Veterinary Studies.

Open ended contract - Permanent.

15 hours/week, working Wednesday and Thursday each week

Shifts are 8.30am-5pm, with one hour unpaid lunch (TBC with successful candidate)

The Opportunity:

Your next step starts here. Be part of something bigger.

The University isn’t just any employer. We are part of a local community and a contributor to global thinking, progress and research. In Edinburgh, you are in one of the world’s most attractive cities with active arts and social sectors, while working in a University that has made significant contributions to society, medicine, physics and teaching for over four centuries. Our people have helped create the modern world and are working on more ground-breaking technologies and practices.

Technical Clinical Services

The University of Edinburgh is a world-class organisation. We are a large University covering a wide range of activities. In Technical Clinical Services, we support the University’s clinical, research and teaching, offering many career and role specialisms.

The role:

Are you passionate about animal care and ready to make a real difference? This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a leading veterinary and teaching hospital, where your work directly supports the health and wellbeing of a wide range of animals as part of our team.

We’re proud of our dynamic and compassionate team of vets, nurses, and assistants—all united by a shared commitment to delivering exceptional patient care. Now, we’re looking for someone equally dedicated to join our Animal Care Team.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, fast-paced position that plays a vital role in the care of our hospitalised patients during our core operational hours. You’ll be involved in a variety of essential tasks, including:

Cleaning and maintaining kennels to the highest hygiene standards
Supporting infection control protocols
Feeding and grooming inpatients
Walking dogs and providing enrichment
Assisting vets and nurses with procedures involving dogs, cats, and exotic species

Our hospital is equipped with:

Three canine wards
Four exotics wards
One feline ward
Purpose-built isolation units
A fully equipped emergency room

We are proud to deliver the highest level of care 24/7/365 to patients with life‑threatening conditions as well as those with more routine needs, ensuring every animal receives the attention and expertise they deserve.

If you're ready for a rewarding ACA role where no two shifts are the same, we’d love to hear from you.

Training & Support

We offer a comprehensive 6–8 week training programme to help you settle into the role. You’ll normally start shadowing our friendly and experienced team during standard weekday daytime hours (Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm) to build your confidence and skills.

A career with us has a range of other benefits that can be tailored to your lifestyle:

As a valued member of our team, you can expect:

A competitive salary.
An exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work.
To be part of a diverse and vibrant international community.

Championing equality, diversity, and inclusion

The University of Edinburgh holds a Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of our commitment to advance gender equality in higher education. We are members of the Race Equality Charter, and we are also Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champions, actively promoting LGBT equality.

Prior to any employment commencing with the University, you will be required to evidence your right to work in the UK. Further information is available on our right to work webpages (opens new browser tab)

On this occasion the University will not consider applicants requiring sponsorship for this role. International workers will therefore only be able to take up this role if they can demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK. Key dates to note.

The closing date for applications is 22 June 2026.

Unless stated otherwise the closing time for applications is 11:59pm UK time. If you are applying outside the UK the closing time on our adverts automatically adjusts to your browsers local time zone.
