We understand that great veterinary careers don’t come in a one-size-fits-all package. Whether it’s adjusted start and finish times, fewer days per week, or flexible rotas that fit around family commitments, we’re happy to have open conversations about what works for you. Our aim is to support you in building a fulfilling veterinary career that fits comfortably around life outside of work.

We’re also on the look out for potential Practice Owners!
Our partnership model is open to Vets, RVNs and experienced Practice Managers looking to take the next step in their career and become a Practice Owner.
The model builds value for practice owners in many ways. It supercharges your start-up with instant brand recognition, access to over 8 million Pets Club customers to help build your client base – and a salary from day one. 

You’ll also be part of a 600-strong practice owner community, with expert teams to support you both professionally and personally.

If you have the ambition to drive a successful business, building lasting value for you and your life, today and beyond, we’d love to talk.

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
