Careers

Help build a directory pet owners trust.

We're a small UK team building Vet Verified in the open. We hire slowly, commission carefully, and care more about the work than the CV. If that sounds like a good fit, we'd love to hear from you.

A small team building Vet Verified.

We do not have a marketing department or call centre. The people who write the website also build the systems behind it.

Vet Verified was founded by a small UK team. We add new practices to the directory each week, improve the verification process and support practices as they claim their listings.

The work spans the obvious things like engineering, design, content, and operations, plus the less obvious ones, like driving to a practice in Devon to photograph a consult room. We commission specialists by the role, full-time hires by exception, and care about how every line reads.

We answer our own emails and speak to practice owners in plain English. We act on their feedback, including making changes in the same week. If this sounds like a good fit, get in touch.

Based in the UK and working across the country.

What we look for in everyone.

Roles change, but we look for the same four qualities in everyone we work with.

  1. 01

    Care about the details no one will notice.

    The right opening hours for a bank holiday. A photograph of the practice door in flat afternoon light. The spacing between letters in a heading. These small details shape whether people can rely on us, so we take time to get them right.

  2. 02

    Use plain English.

    We write to a worried pet owner on a Tuesday night and a busy practice owner between consults. Neither has time for jargon, and both can tell when a sentence has been written for a person or for a search engine. Write the way a thoughtful friend would speak, and you'll fit.

  3. 03

    Talk to practices like a peer.

    Veterinary practices are run by professionals who often work under pressure. Whether you're photographing a consulting room or speaking to a practice manager, be respectful, prepared and curious about how the practice works.

  4. 04

    Be comfortable working in the open.

    We're early enough that the work is visible. Plans move, scope shifts, and the first version of anything is rarely the version that ships. We back people who can hold their standards while something is still being figured out, rather than waiting until it's all settled.

Roles and commissions.

We list every open role and freelance commission here.

Freelance, commissioned Anywhere in the UK Per shoot, day rate

Freelance practice photographers

We're commissioning photographers across the UK to shoot verified practices in their region.

The work

  • Spend roughly half a day on site at a verified practice in your area, mostly during a normal working day.
  • Photograph the team, the building, the waiting area and the treatment spaces in a calm, documentary style. Do not use staged lighting or stylists.
  • Deliver edited, retouched images to us within a week, sized for both the listing and the practice's own use.
  • Sign off on commercial use for the practice's listing on Vet Verified.

What we look for

  • A small, honest portfolio with people in it. Editorial, documentary, interiors or commercial environments.
  • A car or sensible transport that gets you to a practice in your region.
  • Right to work in the UK, your own kit, and your own insurance.
  • A calm presence on site. Practices are working around you, animals are watching, and the best photographs happen when nobody minds you being there.

How to apply

Email support@vetverified.com with a link to your portfolio, the rough area you can shoot in, and your day rate. A real person reads every email and we reply to all of them, usually within a week.

Apply by email support@vetverified.com
Freelance, commissioned Remote, UK-based Per image, or per piece

Editorial photographers

We commission photographs for our articles, guides and breed profiles: dogs in the park, cats on a windowsill or a veterinary nurse with a kitten in a consulting room.

The work

  • Supply images against a short brief, either commissioned for a specific article or licensed from work you already have.
  • Photograph pets, owners and clinical settings with care for the animal and the people around it.
  • Deliver edited images at web sizes within a week, with model releases where people are recognisable.
  • License images to Vet Verified for editorial use.

What we look for

  • A portfolio with animals in it, photographed without props, costumes or heavy retouching. We're happy to see personal work or editorial commissions.
  • Comfortable working around pets and around people who are anxious about their pets, without making the moment about you.
  • Based in the UK, with the right to work, your own kit and your own insurance.

How to apply

Email support@vetverified.com with a link to your portfolio, the kind of work you'd want to be commissioned for, and your rates. Either a per-image licence rate, a per-piece commission rate, or both.

Paid contribution Remote, UK-based Flat fee, per piece

Guest writers

We commission guest articles from people working in the veterinary profession or training to join it. We are looking for first-person essays, plain-English explainers and context that comes from experience in a consulting room. Every article is bylined, carefully edited and paid for.

The work

  • Pitch us a piece you'd want to write.
  • Write somewhere between 800 and 1,800 words, in plain English, for a worried pet owner rather than a colleague at a CPD evening.
  • Work with us through a light edit. We won't change your meaning, but we'll push on anything vague and we'll fact-check claims that need it.
  • Publish under your own byline, with your credentials and a link to wherever you'd like readers to find you next.

What we look for

  • You should work in, or be training for, veterinary practice in the UK. Vets, veterinary nurses, students at a UK veterinary school and recently qualified clinicians are all welcome.
  • Comfortable writing for a non-clinical audience. You don't need a portfolio, but a paragraph or two of your own writing helps us a lot.
  • Honest about scope. We don't run pieces that diagnose, prescribe, or stand in for a real veterinary consult, and we'll say so on the page.
  • You should have no conflicts of interest in the subject, or disclose them up front so we can decide together.

How to apply

Email support@vetverified.com with a sentence or two about you, where you work or study, and either a pitch you'd want to write or a topic you'd like to be briefed on. A paragraph of your own writing, however informal, is more useful to us than a CV.
