Veterinary Care Assistant / Ward Assistant – ASL Vets

Billericay & Wickford (opening June 2026)
Full-time | 40 hours per week

ASL Vets is expanding our team across our growing Billericay practice and our brand‑new Wickford location opening in June 2026. We’re looking for a caring, motivated Veterinary Care Assistant / Ward Assistant to support both sites.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about animal care who enjoys a varied role combining clinical support, patient care, and client interaction.

Previous veterinary experience is essential, and depending on experience, applicants may have the opportunity to progress onto a Veterinary Care Assistant Apprenticeship or the Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) Apprenticeship.

Hours & Shifts

40 hours per week
Early shift: 08:30–17:00
Late shift: 10:30–19:00
1 in 4 Saturdays (09:00–13:00)

The Role

You’ll be an essential part of our clinical team, helping ensure our patients receive the highest standard of care while supporting the smooth running of the practice. This is a hands‑on, fast‑paced role ideal for someone who thrives on variety and teamwork.

Your Responsibilities

Patient & Clinical Support

Daily animal care: cleaning, feeding, handling, and general husbandry
Assisting vets and nurses during consultations and procedures
Providing calm, safe patient restraint
Monitoring inpatients and supporting their daily care routines
Maintaining clean, hygienic wards, kennels, and clinical areas
Laboratory tasks, including sample processing, equipment cleaning, and sterilisation
Ensuring clinical spaces are organised and ready for the day’s caseload
Stock control and general hospital upkeep
Supporting efficient patient flow throughout the practice

Client Care & Reception Duties

Welcoming clients with friendly, professional customer service
Answering phone calls and handling enquiries confidently
Scheduling appointments and managing bookings
Processing payments and maintaining accurate records
Responding to emails with clear, supportive communication
Assisting with patient admissions and coordinating client updates

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking someone who is enthusiastic, proactive, and eager to learn, with previous veterinary practice experience. You’ll be comfortable working across both Billericay and Wickford as part of our expanding team.

Key Qualities

Reliable and dedicated, with a strong work ethic
Team‑focused, thriving in a supportive, multidisciplinary environment
Able to use initiative and work independently when needed
Organised and efficient, able to prioritise in a busy setting
Compassionate and client‑focused, delivering excellent service in person, by phone, and via email

What We Offer

A welcoming, supportive team environment
Opportunities for career development and progression
Clear pathways into VCA or RVN apprenticeship routes (depending on experience)
Hands‑on experience with a wide variety of patients
A role where you can make a real difference every day
The chance to be part of an exciting period of growth as we open our new Wickford site

If you’re passionate about animal care and excited to grow your skills within a friendly, forward‑thinking independent practice, we’d love to hear from you.

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: £22,568.00-£26,436.80 per year

Benefits:
