Are you passionate about caring for both people and their pets? We’re looking for an enthusiastic, positive, and proactive individual to join our fantastic new (opening soon!), purpose-built clinic!
We are a family-owned, independent group of practices who believe that providing an exceptional client experience is just as important as providing outstanding pet healthcare.
The role will be predominantly face to face and dealing with the phone, interacting with people and their pets. We won’t have you stuck behind a desk, you will be able to move around our superb waiting pods and have a cuddle with the pets, which we think is a much better way to spend the day!
There will also be administrative duties, and being a veterinary practice, no two days are the same!

FAMILY-OWNED & INDEPENDENT
Being family-owned and independent means security, trust and ensures we are aligned with our vision and mission to deliver not only our key principles, Quality, Integrity, Passion, and Growth, but also to be the kind of veterinary practice that we are proud of.
We have three generations of the Harrison Family working within our business - Tim, our Managing Director, works alongside his daughter, Annabel, and father, Craig.
Further it means that we are free to make our own decisions and are not governed by remote owners. This gives us the freedom to act in the best interests of our clinics, our team members, our clients, and most importantly, your pets.
3 generations - Craig Harrison, Annabel Harrison & Tim Harrison
FEAR FREE
We understand that pets are part of the family, so as standard our teams are accredited ‘Fear Free’ professionals who can prevent and alleviate potential fear and stress experienced during visits. Our ward areas feature classical music, softer lighting, and stress‑relieving pheromone plugs.
We provide individual hideaway units for cats and covered scales for dogs, plus abundant treats to maintain a stress‑free journey for all.
Our Reading & Kingswinford clinics are Fear Free certified.
OUR PRINCIPLES
TOTAL WELLNESS PLAN
Health plans are nothing new to our industry and are predominantly cost saving in nature.
Our fantastic Total Wellness Plan not only reduces cost for routine preventative products and services, but more importantly eliminates veterinary consult fees completely and introduces a yearly comprehensive physical examination, including blood and urine screening to pick up any subtle indicators of early disease. The plan exists to remove barriers to care, and help pets live longer, healthier lives.
