We are looking for a full time VCA to join the team working 12pm-7pm which will include weekends on a rota basis, with time off in lieu.

We are looking for a colleague who is confident, friendly, hardworking and personable but mostly someone who is passionate about the care and welfare of pets as this is at the forefront of what we do at Ashton Vets4Pets.

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!
