Are you a proactive and caring Veterinary Care Assistant looking to take the next step in your career?
This well-equipped hospital in South West London is looking for a dedicated VCA to join their team. You'll be working alongside experienced vets, RVNs, and a supportive management team who will be with you every step of the way.
As a VCA, you'll play a vital part in patient care and the smooth running of the hospital. From assisting with animal handling and maintaining a hygienic environment, to supporting the clinical team in theatre, monitoring low-level anaesthetics, and helping on reception - you'll be an essential part of the team and a friendly face for clients.
 
The Role:
  • A full-time role (40 hours across 5 days) with a fair rota - 1 in 3 weekends and bank holidays shared equally
  • Genuine career progression - with CPD opportunities, plus the option to train as an RVN if that's your goal
  • A supportive and encouraging culture where your role is valued, respected, and celebrated
  • Exposure to a wide and interesting caseload, giving you the chance to develop your skills and confidence
This is a place where people matter as much as pets. The team are proud of their strong community feel and are known for recognising and rewarding every member of staff. Whether your passion lies in progressing towards RVN training, developing new skills, or finding your niche in patient care, you'll be encouraged and supported to get there.
If you're a motivated VCA with a passion for learning and a genuine love of working in a close-knit, positive team - this could be your next exciting step.
