Veterinary Care Assistant

We are thrilled to offer an exciting opportunity for a motivated and passionate Veterinary Care Assistant to join our Barnsley Cortonwood Vets for Pets team.

Our practice is modern, bright, and purpose-built to industry-leading standards, featuring air-conditioned spaces and state-of-the-art equipment, including digital X-ray and in-house laboratory facilities.

In this role, you will support the team with non-clinical tasks to ensure the smooth running of the practice while helping deliver the highest standard of patient care.

This position is ideal for someone eager to grow within veterinary care, offering a fantastic stepping stone for those looking to progress into a student veterinary nurse role in the future.

This is a full-time position, working 40 hours per week, with a salary in line with the national minimum wage.

If you share our passion for providing exceptional pet healthcare and outstanding customer service and are eager to join a supportive and dedicated team, we would love to hear from you.

The Attributes We’re Looking For:

• You are the friendly, welcoming face for clients and their pets when they arrive.
• You stay informed about all practice services, including any additional offerings, so you can provide helpful guidance.
• You remain calm, attentive, and focused on meeting clients’ needs.
• You bring enthusiasm and drive to your role, combining a passion for excellent service with a genuine love of animals.
• You handle every situation with care—whether comforting a client with difficult news or sharing in the joy of a puppy’s first visit.
• Your positive personality is infectious, helping create a warm and friendly atmosphere alongside your colleagues.

In short, you thrive in a busy environment, love helping people and their pets, and always aim to make a positive difference.
