Full job description

As a Veterinary Care Assistant (VCA) you will support the nurse and vets with in-patient procedures and pet care delivering exceptional care always there to our clients, patients, and colleagues.

We are seeking a compassionate and attentive Veterinary Care Assistant to join our clinical team. You will play a vital role in supporting our vets and nurses, ensuring patients receive exceptional care and our clinic runs smoothly.

You will handle and restrain animals safely for exams and treatments, while feeding, exercising, and grooming hospitalised patients. Daily duties include maintaining strict clinic hygiene by sanitising consultation rooms, kennels, and surgical equipment. You will also assist nurses with surgical prep, instrument sterilisation, and monitoring inpatient vitals. Additionally, you will greet clients, provide compassionate support during emotional visits, and assist reception during busy periods.

Previous animal handling experience in a veterinary or shelter setting is preferred, though full training is provided. You must have strong communication skills, empathy for pets and owners, and high attention to detail. Physical stamina and the ability to stay calm in a fast-paced environment are essential. We are looking for a reliable, adaptable team player.

We strongly support your professional growth with continuing education opportunities, including the potential opportunity to enrol in college to train as a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN).

Your career means more than a rota and a job title, that’s why we offer:

Health and wellbeing

Health Cash Plan from day one
24/7 counselling and wellbeing support
Life Assurance 3 x salary

Annual leave

5 weeks’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays, rising with length of service
Extra ‘Day for You’, a paid day off just for you

Additional support

Cycle to Work
Season Ticket loans
Discounts on Medivet products and services

About you

You’re skilled at providing exceptional client care and are passionate about caring for pets. You’re a team player who wants to make a real difference in a practice that values and supports you.

We welcome applications from candidates able to prioritise, remain calm under pressure and who are flexible and willing to learn.

This role is not suitable for young workers in line with Health and Safety Executive (government) direction due to the expected duties of the role. Therefore, you will be asked to confirm that you are over the age of 18 as part of the application process.

What you’ll be doing

Typically, in this role, you’ll:

Deliver exceptional care to clients, supporting surgeries and procedures, complying with all regulatory, practice and operational standards
Deliver patient monitoring and care to pets, including walking, toileting and feeding
Work collaboratively within a supportive team
