Event Administrator

Join the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) and help promote excellence in the veterinary profession.

**The role**:
Working for a national Association, this is a fantastic opportunity to join our in-house congress team based near Gloucester with hybrid working. As part of its portfolio of events, the association hosts a large veterinary conference, with a globally renowned scientific programme alongside a significant exhibition.
