Vacant job

When the clinic falls silent, the night team takes over.

We are primarily looking for three animal care assistants at level 3 — but veterinarians and licensed veterinary nurses are also welcome to apply. You will care for our inpatients during evenings, nights, and weekends — in a modern animal hospital with easy access near Uppsala.

About the role You are who our patients are waiting for.

As one of three in our night team, you are responsible for the inpatients — monitoring, medication, nursing care, and emergency interventions when needed. Each shift begins with three hours of active work, including cleaning, restocking, and patient care. After that, you can rest, or even sleep, in our rest room — with full pay — as long as the patients are doing well.

• Care and supervision of inpatients during evenings, nights, and weekends

• Rolling 3-week schedule — averaging 37.5 hours per week

• At least 55 hours of rest between each shift — well above legal requirements

• Modern clinic with surgery, lab, X-ray, and a rest room with beds

• Qualifications — we primarily seek trained Level 3 Animal Care Assistants. Veterinarians and licensed veterinary nurses are also welcome to apply

What we offer

• Modern, high-quality facilities with pleasant staff areas

• Advanced equipment and real opportunities to work with specialized animal healthcare

• Close collaboration with experienced and engaged colleagues

• Extensive internal training as part of the Swedish Veterinary Group

• Competitive salary and good benefits

• Fantastically friendly customers and staff

• A ward with 24/7 inpatient care is planned to open this autumn

Compensation Salary based on experience.

Compensation is discussed upon contact and depends on your experience and qualifications. The entire shift is paid working time — including the hours you rest — with shift allowances for evenings, nights, and weekends.

The schedule in brief Long shifts. Longer time off.

Shifts run from late afternoon to morning — weekdays from 17:00 or 19:00 to 08:30, weekends starting at 16:00. You work two to three shifts per week, never more.

• 7 shifts per week, shared among three colleagues in a fixed rotation

• 2–3 shifts per person per week — the rest is your time

• 55+ hours of continuous rest between each shift, guaranteed in the schedule

• 3 hours of active work starts the shift — then rest if the patients allow
