Are you passionate about animal care and looking to make a meaningful impact from day one? An exciting role awaits as a Veterinary Care Assistant at two brand-new, purpose-designed first-opinion practices opening in Greater Manchester. This is your chance to be part of a team that prioritises supreme patient care, an exceptional client experience, and a supportive work environment.

Key duties and responsibilities:
- Support veterinary surgeons and registered nurses across consults, prep, theatre, and wards.
- Prepare and maintain clinical areas, equipment, and consumables.
- Assist with patient handling, restraint, and monitoring of inpatients.

- Contribute to practice operations by shaping rotas and workflows before opening.

Skills and experience:
- Warmth with people and animals, in equal measure.
- Genuine care about clinical standards and doing things properly.
- The drive to help shape a practice rather than slot into one.
- Reliability and calm under pressure.
- Experience in a veterinary or animal care setting is welcome, but not essential— the right attitude matters more, and training will be provided.

This role is perfect for those who are not only passionate about animal care but also eager to help shape the future of a practice. Your contribution will be instrumental in creating a team culture built deliberately, not inherited, ensuring a supportive and fulfilling work environment.
