caregiver

Fitzpatrick Referrals Orthopaedics and Neurology is looking to expand its growing team of veterinary care assistants.

The role is central to the care of our patients, working alongside and offering support to a dedicated team of surgeons, nurses and other care assistants.

Experience working with animals, or volunteering and/or an animal management certificate is desirable, but not essential, as full training will be given, with a six-month mentoring programme.

We are looking for committed people, dedicated to the care and welfare of our patients, with an ability to work independently, use initiative and communicate well within a team.

As a key support role, the veterinary care assistant team assist the nurses and clinicians in many areas, from preparation for surgical procedures, assisting with the smooth running of the practice, as well as focusing on patient aftercare in our wards.

We have two roles available working 40 hours a week Monday to Friday and 1:10 weekends.

In return, you will be part of a dedicated team delivering the best compassionate care, surgical excellence and rehabilitation for our patients. You will also receive a workplace pension scheme, life assurance, a six-month mentoring programme, CPD allowance and an award-winning employee assistance programme.

For further information or to apply please provide your CV and a covering letter by 17th July 2023.

Early applications are welcome and we reserve the right to close for applications before the closing date.
