Farm Vet – Dairy-Focused, Forward-Thinking Practice | Midlands
1 in 10 Rota | Progressive Culture | True Career Development

Let’s be honest — the farm vet landscape is changing. You’re not just looking for a job anymore — you want to be part of something sharper, more collaborative, and built for the way vets actually want to work.

This isn’t just a job filling rota gaps. This is a career-defining opportunity to join a tight-knit team of dairy-forward farm vets who are challenging the status quo — in herd health, in business, and in how a vet career should look in 2025.

Here’s what’s different:

  • A 1 in 10 OOH rota – yes, really – with flexibility to buy/sell duties

  • A collaborative, 12-vet clinical team backed by a 30-strong practice group

  • Structured mentorship and freedom to lead projects, innovate, and not be micromanaged

  • Genuinely minimal TB testing – we’ve got a TB team for that

  • Exposure to embryo transfer, AI, farmer education, germplasm exports, and vet school teaching

We’re looking for:

  • A proactive farm vet (2+ years’ experience ideal) who’s comfortable with routine dairy work and keen to push further

  • Confidence in cattle repro and scanning – you’ll be hands-on from day one

  • Someone who thrives on building proper farmer relationships, not just hitting targets

  • A team player who knows the value of great communication – with clients and colleagues

  • Someone who wants in — on the team, the growth, the challenge, and the big picture

What’s in it for you:

  • Competitive salary and the option to increase income via OOH flexibility

  • 25 days holiday + BHs + extra days off in lieu for weekends worked

  • Vehicle provided or allowance

  • CPD? Fully supported. Certificates, DBR, even a European Diploma – we’ll back it

  • Integration with data-led platforms like Kingshay and Digifarm for modern, efficient herd health

  • One paid volunteering day per year – give back however you choose

This is more than farm calls and fertility checks — it's a chance to be part of a practice that leads, not follows. From Whitchurch, we cover Cheshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and North Wales — and we do it with purpose, energy, and a bit of banter too.
