We are seeking a dedicated Veterinary Animal Assistant to join our warm and supportive team at Woodlands Veterinary Centre. This role will primarily be based at our Liphook location, where you'll work alongside a part-time Registered Veterinary Nurse. Your responsibilities will include assisting with nurse clinics, helping to restrain pets during veterinary examinations, and supporting our front-of-house team in providing exceptional care to our wonderful clients.

Although our highly experienced Head Nurse is based at our Midhurst site, you will have frequent opportunities to collaborate with her throughout the week.

 

We are situated in the beautiful South Downs, a stone’s throw away from the coast and London, giving the best of both worlds. We are an hour from both Heathrow and Gatwick Airport allowing for close transport links to Europe and beyond. We have plenty of scope at the Liphook site to expand due to the size of the practice.

 

Over the three sites we have lots of toys, to name a few, digital x-ray, dental x-ray, a multiparameter anaesthetic monitoring machine, blood pressure, microscope, in house biochemistry and haematology blood machines, ultrasound with cardiac and an abdominal probe, laser, ECG, endoscope and tonometer. 

 

We would confidently say one of our unique selling points would be our team. If you are looking to join a warm and friendly team then we would love to hear from you. We have an amazing team of Vets, Nurses, VCA's and Front of house. All working together to achieve an excellent standard of care. We have a nurturing culture, with a high emphasis for learning and development. We have several certificate holders who are always sharing their knowledge and discuss cases with the nursing team. 

 

We encourage our team to pursue their passions in whatever form. We look after the residents of a local Cats Protection Adoption Centre, meaning there is not a week that goes by without a kitten cuddle.

 

We are looking for a kind, considerate colleague, that has a high energy, and a positive can-do attitude, you must be happy to use your initiative and use time and resources effectively. You will have good interpersonal skills with a passion on all aspects of animal care and welfare. You will instinctively want to go that extra mile to provide the best care to your patients.

 

You will be requested to work 40 hours each week, start and finish time will vary depending on the day, this may also include a Saturday morning once a month.
