About the Role

While you may occasionally be needed in other areas of the hospital, this PCA role will primarily support our Internal Medicine team, working closely with our RVNs and clinicians to assist with procedures and patient care.  Support to other departments may be required as operational needs arise.

Although full training will be provided, this role is ideal for someone with previous PCA/animal care experience, especially those comfortable working in a fast‑paced referral environment.

Typical Responsibilities Include:

• Assisting RVNs and Vets during procedures, including restraining patients, assisting with sampling, catheter placements and administering medications
• Supporting Internal Medicine workflows (e.g., preparing patients, helping with diagnostic procedures, handling samples)
• Running in-house lab tests (bloods, urinalysis) and preparing samples to be sent externally
• Maintaining high standards of cleaning and infection control across clinical areas
• Supporting with general patient‑care tasks when required (e.g., helping move patients, grooming, occasional dog walking)
• Assisting with theatre or reception cover when needed
