Life at PDSA is busy, challenging, fun and rewarding. But best of all, it makes a difference to the life of every pet.
At PDSA it’s important to us to go beyond better, knowing we all have a part to play in achieving our mission.
We recognise that successful performance comes from a combination of factors:
- The knowledge required to deliver a role.
- The skills that provide the ability to carry out the role.
- The behaviours that guide us to work in the best way for the organisation.
We support all of our colleagues to understand who we are, what we believe in and what is expected of them, we provide a consistent, well-defined set of organisational values. They help our teams to form a compass for decision making and ways of working.
Everyone helps. Whatever our roles, we are passionate about making a difference to the lives of pets with prevention, education and treatments. As our founder Maria Dickin said, ‘we help, we care and we teach’. These values apply to those we help and those who help us. So when you join us at PDSA, we offer you a range of rewarding career opportunities and employee benefits.
We help you to do your job well. We give you the tools you need to build trusted relationships, to take ownership to make effective decisions – and to develop and share knowledge that will help you to excel. We’ll also provide you with great resources such as modern, well maintained equipment in our PDSA Pet Hospitals, to great office facilities in our support teams.
We care about your health and wellbeing. We want you to enjoy a great work/life balance, so we offer great working hours. In addition, our Employee Assistance Programme provides you with free advice on everything from health and medical to legal and finance. Other benefits include child care vouchers, life assurance, staff pet treatment at PDSA Pet Hospitals and discounts on leisure and entertainment activities.
We believe in developing our teams. You’ll be part of a highly experienced team within a large national network and get training to excel in your role. Our learning programmes include e-learning, courses and workshops. Plus, you can access career and professional development opportunities including our Future Leaders programme.
We put the fun into fundraising. From hiking and biking to skydiving and diving with sharks – our fundraising is great fun. So you can get involved in making a real difference to animals in need.
