Ipswich, United Kingdom CMW Vets Full time

CMW Vets is an independent small animal practice founded on friendships, honesty and trust. We are a small and experienced veterinary team, looking for an enthusiastic and caring Veterinary Care Assistant (VCA) to help us look after our patients and their owners.

The VCA role involves all aspects of our practice - assisting the vets and nurses with clinics, preparing and running samples in the lab, helping care for our inpatients, theatre duties (preparing and cleaning surgical kits etc.), talking to clients (often whilst cuddling their pets), phone answering, and helping to keep everywhere clean and tidy. No specific qualifications are required, but a passion to care for animals and their owners is. Previous experience of working with animals or customers in other settings will be helpful, but is not essential. There is an inevitable degree of computer use and taking, relaying, or carrying out instructions, so good reading and numerical skills are required. You will be working within a friendly team, who will provide all the support required as you develop your knowledge of the role.

The practice is in Little Blakenham, near Ipswich, with easy access just off the A14 but in a quiet rural location with plenty of parking. We are open from 8am to 7pm weekdays, and 8am to 12pm Saturdays. The position can be full time (preferred) or part time, and can be flexible within these hours to accommodate any regular commitments you may have. A share of Saturday hours will be expected.

**Job Types**: Full-time, Part-time, Permanent

**Salary**: From £11.00 per hour

**Benefits**:

- Company pension
- Employee discount
- On-site parking
- Sick pay

Schedule:

- Day shift
- Monday to Friday
- Weekend availability

Work Location: In person
