Why You’ll Love It Here
At Trafford Park, we’ve built a culture centred around support, collaboration, and enjoyment. We work hard for our patients and clients, but we also make sure to look after each other.

  • We are currently working towards obtaining ISFM cat friendly status
  • You’ll be joining a talented veterinary team with interests spanning ophthalmology, acupuncture, internal medicine, and cytology, meaning there’s always someone to learn from or collaborate with.

    Our skilled nurses and VCA team run clinics, assist with procedures, and help keep the day flowing smoothly, while our exceptional front-of-house colleagues ensure every client feels welcomed and supported from the moment they walk in.
    Most importantly, we’re proud of the positive, fun atmosphere we’ve created. A place where people feel appreciated, respected, and excited to contribute.

    The Role

    We know flexibility is key to loving where you work, so we’re committed to shaping this role around the right person wherever possible.

    • Flexible shift patterns to support work–life balance or childcare
    • 28 days holiday
    • 1 in 4 Saturdays (9am–6pm) with time back in lieu
    • No out-of-hours
    • We do open for Easter, May and August Bank holidays and these are shared out amongst the team

    Tell us what works for you, we’re open to conversations that help you succeed both inside and outside of work.

    Location Perks

    Conveniently located in Trafford Retail Park just off the M60, commuting couldn’t be easier.
    And when it comes to breaks or post-shift plans, you’re spoiled for choice — Aldi, Starbucks, Nando’s, Five Guys, Popeyes and more are only steps away, there is also a local gym nearby!
