Hi, there is a practice in staffordshire looking for a trainee VN (paid job) at the moment. It's on the job centre website.

I would suggest sending a CV and cover letter to the practices rather than just phoning them, most of the time vets can be booked up for months even up to a year but if they have your CV they can at least remember your name and interest. If you just phone you will be forgotten in seconds especially if you have caught them at a busy point in the day (which is always!).

Have you tried Abbey House Vets or Calder Vets? Also if you are able to travel a little further on public transports Shipley Vets often offer work experience in Bradford and Airedale vets in Headingly?

I was a volunteer with the PDSA. (I started out working there on placement while I did the Dip Animal Management). There's a PetAid hospital in Bradford. The link below is the volunteer form

https://www.pdsa.org.uk/how-you-can-help/volunteer-with-pdsa/volunteering-contact-form

Phone number is - 01274 740070.

I would suggest ringing them, asking them the HN's name and writing to her / him first. Good luck.

If yo get no joy, let me know. A couple of the lads on my course are from Bradford and may know of somewhere as we all had to do work experience to be accepted into uni.
