Oakhill Vets’ established Vet Tech service provides essential support to vets and farmers in monitoring and improving animal health. The role involves assisting with ongoing projects, including the successful Calf Club service, as well as developing new services to support farm clients. In addition, the appointed candidate will work as an Approved TB Tester (ATT), carrying out TB testing on clients’ farms.
This full-time position offers a varied mix of time spent on farm and in the office, so a flexible approach is required. Computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Excel, are highly desirable. The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator, hard-working, self-motivated, and enthusiastic.

- Be a minimum of 18 years old
- Complete a satisfactory DBS check
- Have a minimum of 6 months’ livestock handling experience
Additionally, the successful candidate will hold three GCSEs or equivalent qualifications in Mathematics, English, and a science subject or Food Production, or alternatively have three years’ performance in a government regulatory role.
