Career at AWAKE

Who we are


AWAKE Djursjukhus was established in 2021 as Scandinavia's first dedicated emergency and specialty animal hospital. In a time when others are scaling back, we chose to open up – 24/7, every day, all year round. We started with a dream to transform veterinary care, to provide our patients and their owners access to specialists at every visit, and to handle emergency situations with the most experienced staff.

How we recharge

Work/life balance is important to us. We offer a 3-4 day work week combined with an innovative workplace where we celebrate focus, collaboration, and community.

When the team owns


As an employee-owned animal hospital, we stand out in an industry largely governed by venture capitalists. We believe in investing in our employees and our service rather than maximizing the return for external stakeholders.

How we make a difference

At AWAKE Animal Hospital, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact beyond the hospital walls. Through our non-profit branch, AWAKE Outreach, we strive to make a difference for animals and people globally. We extend our commitment to animal welfare and promote ONE HEALTH by strengthening existing animal protection programs in collaboration with local organizations and enthusiasts. A portion of our profits goes to our non-profit branch, and we give our employees opportunities to participate in initiatives that truly make a difference in the world.

Workplace of the year 2023

AWAKE Animal Hospital Stockholm was named Workplace of the Year 2023. We continue to change veterinary care and offer high quality care around the clock.

In the most demanding situations, we have chosen to let experienced and confident veterinarians take care of the emergency. This sets us apart from other animal hospitals. We challenge traditional hierarchies and see every team member as a central part of our ecosystem. This promotes a better working environment and raises the quality of care for our patients.

We´d love to hear from you…

We always want to meet wonderful veterinarians and technicians with fancy titles.

If you don’t have a fancy title but have a great personality and high level of competence, you probably fit into our team as well.

It´s all about the people…
