What a day might look like for you

We've added a short summary of what a typical day might look like, for a full insight please refer to the attached job description.

Our fabulous Hospital Assistants are integral to the smooth running of the hospital.

You'll start the day with a given area and patients to care for. These may have complex needs, or be more straightforward.

You will be asked to keep them clean and cared for, give medications, update records and be alert to concerns.

Or, you might be assisting with surgical cases in our operating theatre, helping prepare animals for surgery or ensure instruments are prepared for use.

No two days are the same and new, vulnerable animals are brought in, and moved along on their journey from rescue to rehome every day, so having great communications skills helps liaise with our other front line colleagues.

It can be emotionally tough at times, but the rewards of successful outcomes and knowing you are making a difference are great.

You will be part of a big team with lots of opportunities to develop your skills in animal care.

Hospital Assistants are proactive and collaborative to ensure high standards of animal welfare and biosecurity on a 24hr rota. The shifts worked vary but typically include 6am-2pm, 8am-4pm, 2pm-10pm, 10pm-6am.
