Housekeeper/Cleaner Bolton, England
Job description
Housekeeper (Bolton)
Join Animal Trust – Because every pet deserves a vet
It’s always difficult when our pets aren’t feeling well. Because nobody wants to see their cuddly companion in pain, off colour, or out of sorts.
But, for pet owners experiencing financial difficulty, finding the money to pay for expensive veterinary bills can be an impossible task, and poorly pets often go untreated.
That’s why we’ve made it our mission to provide proper, affordable veterinary care for pets, everywhere. That means no consultation fees, no eligibility criteria and realistic prices.
We do all of this by prioritising the welfare of our patients, their owners, and our staff over profit. And any profit we do make is circled straight back into the Trust, so we can maintain the highest standard of care at the lowest possible price for our pet owners.
