Katie Spencer

I am a compassionate and dedicated individual with a lifelong passion for animals and their welfare. With over 17 years' experience caring for a variety of animals both large and small, I bring empathy, practical knowledge, and a calm, reliable presence to every task. I hold a Level 2 Diploma in Equine and Land-Based Studies, gaining understanding of animal legislation, welfare standards, and how to recognise signs of illness or distress.

Alongside my healthcare background and hands-on farm experience, I am confident in providing attentive care and support. While I do not hold work experience within a veterinary practice, I believe I hold valuable skills that are transferable, contributing to a strong team. I am eager to develop my skills further within a veterinary practice and progress toward a Veterinary Nurse career.
