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 this in the open.

No marketing department. No call centre. The same handful of people who write the site also write the verification pipeline behind it.

Vet Verified was founded by a small team, based in the UK. The catalogue is growing every week, the verification pipeline is being shaped in public, and the first practices are claiming 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. We talk to practice owners on the phone, in plain English, and we take their feedback seriously enough to ship against it the same week. If this sounds like a good fit, get in touch.

Based in the United Kingdom. Working across the country.

What we look for, in anyone.

Roles change. The kind of person we want to work with doesn't, much. Four things hold across every role we've ever opened.

  1. 01

    Care about the details no-one will notice.

    The right opening hour on a bank holiday. The photograph of the practice door, taken in flat afternoon light. The space between letters in a heading. The trust we're trying to earn is the sum of small things done properly, and the people who do this well already know who they are.

  2. 02

    Plain English, by default.

    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 serious professionals doing serious work, often under pressure. Whether you're a photographer in their consulting room or an engineer on the phone with a practice manager, the register is the same: respectful, prepared, and curious about how their practice actually runs.

  4. 04

    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.

What we're hiring or commissioning.

We list every open role here, in full, including the ones we're commissioning rather than hiring.

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 register. No staged lighting, no 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're commissioning photographers to supply imagery for our editorial articles, guides and breed pieces. Dogs in the park, cats on a window sill, a vet nurse with a kitten in a consult 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.
  • Licence 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 pieces from people working inside the profession, or training to. First-person essays, plain-English explainers, and the kind of context that only sounds right when it comes from someone who's been in the consulting room. Bylined, edited carefully, 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

  • Working in or training for veterinary practice in the UK. Veterinarians, veterinary nurses, students at a UK veterinary school, and recently qualified clinicians 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.
  • No conflicts of interest with the subject of your piece, or willing to disclose them upfront 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.
