About Us
Veteris is an independent and fast-growing veterinary group providing 24/7 emergency care across London. We operate through three business units: Veteris-Mobile, Veteris-Shoreditch ICU, and Veteris-Clapham ICU.
Our mission is clear: to make high-quality emergency care accessible, while supporting the people who care for London's pets. We are a dynamic, ambitious, and collaborative team that values accountability, professional growth, and the strong culture we are building together.
About the Role

If you are driven, pragmatic, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact on a growing healthcare organisation.
