Veterinary Behaviourist
Are you an experienced veterinary surgeon with experience of taking care of dogs with a range of different behavioural signs? Do you want to be a part of a team that makes a difference to the lives of dogs in need? If so, we would love to hear from you!
In this role you’ll provide specialist guidance in Veterinary Behavioural Medicine, supporting Training, Behaviour and Veterinary teams across Dogs Trust Rehoming Centres. Your expertise will help identify links between health and behaviour and ensure behavioural medication is used appropriately to promote the best possible welfare for dogs in our care.
What does this role do?
As a Veterinary Behaviourist, you’ll advise on the use of psychoactive medication and the relationship between physical health, physiology and behaviour. Working alongside Behaviour and Veterinary colleagues, you’ll help shape effective rehabilitation plans, contribute to welfare reviews, and support key assessment and decision-making processes within rehoming centres.
You’ll play a key role in implementing and monitoring medication approval systems, overseeing data collection and reporting, and supporting staff development through training, case reviews and CPD. You’ll also collaborate with veterinary teams to promote best practice in Veterinary Behavioural Medicine, both internally and across the wider profession, all while helping to ensure the highest standards of welfare for dogs in our care.
Could this be you?
To be successful in this position you’ll have hands-on experience working with dogs displaying a wide range of behavioural needs, alongside a solid understanding of training, rehabilitation and behaviour modification. Passionate about improving outcomes for dogs and their owners, you’ll confidently use management strategies, behavioural therapy and appropriate medication to support welfare-led care.
You’ll be an excellent communicator, comfortable working with veterinary colleagues and specialist teams, and able to produce clear, detailed behavioural reports. Well organised and self-motivated, you’ll manage your own workload, contribute to the wider aims of Dogs Trust, and represent the organisation through workshops, mentoring and CPD presentations. Due to travel requirements a full UK driving licence is essential.

This role may be perfect for you if you are currently, or have been, a Healthcare Assistant, and are looking for a part-time role (minimum contract 22.5 hours). At Noah’s Ark you'll have opportunity to build on your experience and be trained to a more specialist level.
ABOUT NOAH'S ARK CHILDREN'S HOSPICE
We exist to help babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, make the most of every day. Our mission is to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, not patients; as families, not just as carers.
Because everyone deserves to live life as themselves, beyond their condition or circumstances. We do this by listening to families. We know one size doesn’t fit all, so we cater our services to each individual person we support. We can do this from the point of diagnosis.
Our help is available wherever it is needed. Our expert staff and trained volunteers can provide support in a families home, in the community, or at our state-of-the-art building, The Ark, in Barnet.
We work in collaboration with key NHS Trusts and other care providers to deliver the very best support to children and families. We have created a space where children with complex needs are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re expanding our team and are looking for more Specialist Carers to join our charity. You’ll be joining an award-winning, certified Outstanding team, who do all they can to empower children and families to experience as much life as possible.
As a Specialist Carer, you’ll provide life-changing care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. You’ll do this by working in collaboration with their family, multidisciplinary teams, and your other Noah’s Ark colleagues.
You’ll be encouraged to put the experience of children and families at the heart of all you do. As well as understanding their clinical needs, you’ll get to know what’s important to each child you support. Whether it’s knowing what their favourite song to listen to is, how they like to play, or what sooths them when they are sad - at Noah’s Ark it’s so important that each child is treated as an individual. You’ll focus on what children can do, rather than their limitations, and will support them to experience things they may never have thought possible.
And by providing care for children, either at our state-of-the art building, The Ark, or out in the community, you’ll be allowing parents and cares to take some time for themselves. The hours of care you’ll provide will make a huge difference, allowing them to live life outside of their child’s condition. By creating this time, you’ll be creating choice – something which can feel impossible for the families we support
Your commitment to children and families will continue through to end-of-life care. You’ll be a guiding reassuring presence for families and working with other healthcare professionals to create as much comfort as possible.
ABOUT YOU
You’ll have experience working with babies, children, and young people in a health, education or social setting. You’ll understand the power of play and will enjoy creating experiences and activities for those you are caring for.
Aside from experience, we look for individuals who share our core values of kindness, excellence and courage. We’ll support you to go above and beyond to be there for the children and families we support – we ask that you share this mission with us.
You’ll thrive working autonomously, confident in your ability to deliver care on your own out in the community. You’ll know the value of collaboration, and will work closely with your team members, other healthcare professionals and the families you support to provide the very best care.
Creativity and play will be central to your approach to care, with the ability to build long-term relationships with the children and families you care for.
You will be available to work a variety of shits, including days, evenings, nights and weekends. You will have a full UK driving license and access to your own car. You will be paid for travel time, reimbursed for car parking and will have a generous mileage allowance.
