We’re looking for an organised, accurate and detail-driven individual to join our team as a Dispensary Technician at Lime Trees Veterinary Hospital. This new permanent position has been created to meet the needs of our busy practice and support the whole team in delivering high-quality patient care and client service.

Whether you already have experience in a veterinary or pharmacy environment or you're someone with a strong administrative background and excellent attention to detail, this is your opportunity to be part of a passionate and supportive team.

Your Role in the Team

As our Dispensary Technician, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring our dispensary is well-managed, safe, and fully stocked. You’ll work closely with clinical and support teams to provide timely medication to clients and ensure accurate lab sample management, while helping maintain a clean and efficient environment. We’ll provide the training you need – all we ask for is a commitment to quality, strong organisation, and a team-oriented mindset.

This is a position you can take ownership of and truly make your own.

A keen eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy

Confidence using IT systems and updating records precisely

A proactive and organised approach

An interest in animal care (experience in a veterinary setting is desirable but not essential)
