Volunteering with StreetVet
Volunteers play a vital role in the delivery of StreetVet’s service. Our team of volunteer vets and vet nurses provide community veterinary care at regular outreaches and hostel visits. These sessions are usually held in the evenings or at weekends and last 2-3 hours. At these sessions we aim to provide the same care you would expect to receive within a vet practice.
We have various volunteer opportunities available including Volunteer Vet, Volunteer RVN and Support Volunteer roles.
Since StreetVet began we have registered and helped nearly 3,000 patients and performed over 12,000 consultations.
StreetVet is always expanding due to the demand for our service. Currently we have outreach locations in Birmingham, Bournemouth, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Cornwall, Glasgow, Gloucester, Hertfordshire, London, Norwich, Peterborough, Portsmouth, and Reading.
