Animal Trust
Make a Difference in a Vet-Led Social Enterprise
At Animal Trust Vets, we believe every pet deserves access to excellent veterinary care, regardless of their owner's financial circumstances. As a vet-led, not-for-profit organisation, our mission is to remove barriers to treatment and empower veterinary professionals to focus on what matters most — clinical care.
What Sets Us Apart
Clinical Freedom & Purpose-Driven Work
Our vets are trusted to make the right decisions for their patients. We don’t upsell — we treat. You’ll work in a supportive environment where your clinical judgement is valued, and your impact is real. As a social enterprise veterinary group, we reinvest our profits in our people and our clinics. That means more support, better equipment, and a team that genuinely cares about your growth.
