The position is for 37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday with a share of weekend work. You will be required to work predominantly at our Galleywood Practice and on occasion at our Heybridge Branch, therefore a driving licence would be advantageous.

You will need to have the ability to remain calm under pressure and also show empathy in each situation you encounter, from sharing the excitement of a puppy's first visit to the vets or comforting a client who has received some bad news.

Most importantly, we are looking for a team player who is flexible and adaptable - as there are so many aspects to the role, we need someone who is quick thinking and willing to learn

This training is alongside the training your will receive in practice.
