Assisting veterinary staff with animal examinations, treatments, and procedures
Preparing and sterilising surgical instruments and equipment
Handling animals safely and compassionately during consultations and procedures
Maintaining accurate records of patient histories, treatments, and laboratory results
Supporting laboratory tasks such as sample collection, processing, and analysis
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

Requirements

Prior veterinary experience is highly desirable but not essential; training will be provided for suitable candidates
Genuine interest in animal health and welfare
Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise tasks effectively
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
Ability to work well within a team environment
Compassionate attitude towards animals and their owners
Ability to work flexibly within a busy practice setting
A valid right to work in the UK is essential

Benefits

In return, we offer benefits such as a 20% discount at the Vet Group, Pets at Home and the Groom Room, access to discounts and cashbacks, in-house career development opportunities, pension and holiday allowance. The salary for this role is £12.71 per hour or above with VCA experience in a clinic.

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. Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
