This apprenticeship position offers a structured entry point into veterinary nursing at a small animal practice located inside Pets at Home in Shrewsbury. You'll work full-time (38.5 hours per week), including one in three Saturday mornings, with flexible shifts starting at 8:15am or finishing at 7pm. You'll be enrolled on a day-release apprenticeship course at a local college, attending one day per week while gaining hands-on experience in practice.
