The Role

We have an exciting opportunity for a full time Veterinary Surgeon to join our team. The rota allows for a great work/life balance. You will be working a four day week and you will be required to perform the duties of a practicing vet working to high clinical standards. The weekend on-call rota is 1 in 5, with one or two nights on call a week.

About Us

We have a supportive team of 6 Vets, 3 RVN's, 2 SVN's, 3 ANA's and 9 support staff.

Applicant Requirements

We are looking for a confident, experienced vet, who is as comfortable in theatre as in the consulting room.
