We have an exciting opportunity to join our team of Patient Care Assistants complementing our busy Emergency, Critical Care and Medicine nursing teams. The successful candidate will be integral to our dynamic team of vets, nurses and students that thrive under pressure and most of all have a passion for patient care.

The role will involve maintaining infection control standards, patient handling, walking, grooming and feeding.
This position is 35 hours per week, evening shifts 3pm-11pm
Training and ongoing support will be provided.
