About Us

PDSA is a special organisation that provides expert veterinary care for people across the UK who otherwise would not be able to afford to treat their pets. What we do really matters!

Our approach is unique as we combine pragmatism with a strong client care focus to deliver good clinical outcomes – we focus on measuring our impact rather than targets.

Your wellbeing at work is critical and we work hard to provide a supportive and engaging environment. You will have access to all the expert advice and resources you need to set you up for success in your new role.

About You

We are looking for qualified vet nurses who are up for a challenge and can adapt to the wide variety of cases seen at PDSA. Confidence in communicating with a wide range of colleagues and clients is essential as is a willingness to share your skills and lead by example. Specifically, you will be involved in consultations, in-patient care, dispensing medications and assisting in theatre including schedule 3 surgery.

Your passion will drive you to champion the charity, promote client contributions and always keep an eye on resources suggesting efficiencies wherever possible. We really do listen.

The work is fast-paced and challenging so we want you to have the work life balance that suits your needs as well as enabling us to deliver an outstanding service. Working 7.5 hours over Thursday and Friday.

About the Hospital

Our veterinary teams usually have quite varied clinical interests which means you have access to a wide pool of knowledge and experience with which to discuss cases and treatment plans. Our Pet Hospitals are modern and well-equipped and generally include separate dog and cat kennelling facilities, in-house radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, piped gases and extensive orthopaedic equipment. The size of our teams allows for a flexible approach to weekend rotas and any out of hours required, with enhanced pay and stand down time in the week when a weekend is worked.

About the benefits

We are really passionate about being a great place to work, where people feel connected with what we do and where they feel they can make a genuine difference. This commitment has resulted in us being rated as one of the top 25 big organisations to work for in the UK according to Best Companies survey.

In addition to being a great place to work, we offer a wide range of benefits, including:

1. Remote and flexible working options
2. CPD Allowance of one week and £500 per year
