Every dog and cat in need deserves expert, personalised care and support, and to be loved. When you work for Mayhew, you understand that better than ever. We’re a passionate, committed and diverse team of c80 staff and c150 volunteers, here for dogs, cats and communities in the UK, in Afghanistan and in Georgia. We offer expert veterinary care, rescue and rehoming services, programmes in the community and guidance and support to improve the lives of dogs and cats in need.

We have had a community vet clinic on site at our historic North West London shelter since 1925. For nearly 100 years, our London clinic has delivered many tens of thousands of treatments to dogs and cats and supported their owners with low-cost veterinary interventions and clinical advice they wouldn’t otherwise have been able to afford. Since March 2022, we have been proud to provide our preventative veterinary treatments free of charge, and without judgment, to those who are unable to afford it and who have no recourse to another reputable provider.

In our modern and well-equipped community vet clinic, we provide a limited range of preventative veterinary care treatments including annual health checks, neutering, vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping, dentals and advice and support. Our clinic is RCVS accredited and we are a training centre for veterinary students at the University of Surrey.

Our clinic operates 7-days a week, looking after outpatients in addition to the animals in our care at the shelter; the clinic is open to the public Monday to Saturday. When fully staffed, in addition to this post, our clinic team is made up of 3.0 FTE Vet Surgeons, 1.0 FTE Head RVN, 2-3.0 FTE RVNs and a full time Clinic Receptionist. The clinic also benefits from the support of an Animal Carer on rotation most days of an average week.
