We are excited to offer a great opportunity for a dedicated individual to join our friendly team as a Veterinary Care Assistant. 

The role

The role of a Veterinary Care Assistant is diverse and encompasses a range of responsibilities, including patient care, kennel maintenance, laboratory tasks & infection control. You will be involved in all aspects of animal care, from assisting nurses with hospitalised patients to supporting the surgical team, stock management, and maintaining a high standard of cleanliness throughout the practice.

About us

Based at the edge of the South Downs National Park on the south coast of England, a short distance from Brighton and yet within easy reach of London, Crossways has an excellent reputation for providing the highest quality personalised care for our clients and their pets. We are well established in the area and very lucky to have many loyal clients. 

The team comprises 6 Vets, 9 registered veterinary nurses, and 13 support staff. 

We offer a full range of services, from preventive care and surgical procedures to advanced diagnostics, tailored to meet the unique needs of every pet. We believe in being part of the communities we serve and support many local events.

*Prior animal-handling experience 

*Ability to work within a team and independently

*Able to remain calm and focused under pressure, with a caring and empathetic approach

*A strong team player with confident and effective communication skills

Working Hours

This is a permanent role that could be for up to 35 hours per week, split across 5 days, working Monday to Friday (and occasionally some Saturday morning work), but we would equally like to hear from candidates seeking fewer hours/days. For the right candidate, we will try to offer the flexibility you need to fit around your personal circumstances.

In addition to a competitive salary, you will benefit from:

*6.6 weeks annual leave 

*Additional annual leave for your birthday which will be added to your holiday allowance
