The Role:
We’re looking for a vet who’s confident with non-routine surgeries and eager to take ownership of cases. You’ll work 40 hours over 4 days, with a 1 in 6 weekend rota. Part-time options can be discussed too.

What’s on offer:

  • Up to £72,000 DOE

  • 5 weeks’ annual leave + bank holidays, rising with service

  • Private Medical Insurance
