Overview
Are you a vet looking to step away from the pressure cooker of clinic life? Want to do meaningful, impactful work without the chaos of theatre lists, on-call rotas, or conveyor-belt consultations? We’re offering something completely different - and incredibly rewarding.
Home Visit Pet Care Wigan is a small, independent, RVN-led mobile practice with a mission: to bring high-quality, personalised veterinary care directly into people’s homes. We don’t do surgeries or emergencies. Instead, we focus on what we do best - preventative and diagnostic care, delivered calmly and compassionately, with time to truly connect with patients and clients.
You’ll work closely alongside Louise, our practice owner (RVN), visiting clients in their own homes and providing care in a setting that’s more relaxed for everyone - especially the pets. We often reach animals who wouldn’t otherwise get care: elderly pets whose owners can’t drive, anxious animals who don’t cope in clinics, or clients with complex personal circumstances. You’ll be making a tangible difference.
Yes, we work hard - but it’s a gentler kind of pressure. There’s no waiting room chaos, no double-booked consults, and no chasing your tail. Just meaningful work, with more control over your day, and the chance to build real relationships with the people you help.
If you’re craving variety, autonomy, and the space to do your job well - this could be exactly what you’re looking for.
We are a small but fast-growing team, proudly independent and completely free of corporate nonsense. You’ll be joining a practice that genuinely values its people and prioritises wellbeing as much as clinical standards.
