Blue Cross is recruiting for a Veterinary Coordinator at our Exeter centre to play a key role within our Rehoming and Fostering Services.
More about the role
As our Veterinary Coordinator, you will act as a crucial link connecting the clinical care of our pets with our broader rehoming and fostering operations. Working closely with Centre Managers, our veterinary partners, and a national network of coordinators, you will help standardise clinical approaches, optimise resources, and ensure all interventions strictly align with Blue Cross guidelines. Your responsibilities will span the full lifecycle of pet care. You will coordinate and agree comprehensive treatment plans, oversee regulatory compliance, and arrange logistics for external veterinary consultations. Crucially, you will also serve as a key point of guidance for our teams, foster carers, pet owners and our veterinary partner practices. This will include supporting public welfare education, navigating complex clinical cases, and offering compassionate support during sensitive, welfare-led decision-making. This is a part-time role working 22.5 hours per week across three days from Monday to Friday. Please note, as we do not currently carry out veterinary procedures onsite at our Exeter centre you will not be delivering hands-on clinical services to the pets in our care. However, you will use your practical experience and veterinary nursing expertise to coordinate and advise on the clinical care provided by our veterinary partner practices. We will also pay for your continued CPD and registration requirements.

You are a qualified, RCVS-registered Veterinary Nurse who brings sound clinical judgment, and a dedication to shelter medicine principles. Alongside your technical nursing capabilities, you possess excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, allowing you to build strong relationships across internal teams and external veterinary practices alike.

You are highly organised, efficient at prioritising workloads, and capable of maintaining exceptional standards in dynamic operational environments. Demonstrating resilience and strong emotional intelligence, you can manage sensitive situations with empathy and professionalism. Above all, you are a collaborative team player driven by a commitment to continuous improvement and aligned with our core values of compassion, courage, and inclusivity.
