A genuinely rare opportunity has arisen for a Mixed Veterinary Surgeon to join a long established independent practice based in one of the most scenic parts of Northern Ireland.

This role would suit either an experienced mixed vet or a confident recent graduate looking to develop within a supportive and down to earth team environment. The practice is based in a beautiful village setting with the caseload spanning across the Glens of Antrim and North Coast, offering a fantastic lifestyle alongside varied clinical work.

The caseload is truly mixed, with a roughly 50/50 split between farm and small animal work. Farm work consists mainly of dairy, beef and sheep, with very little equine involved. The team offers a good level of clinical freedom and exposure, making it an excellent environment for someone wanting to continue building confidence across both disciplines.

The clinic is well equipped with in house small animal imaging and blood machines, IMV large animal scanners, TB handhelds and Ovacyte equipment.

The rota is designed with balance in mind, currently sitting at a flexible 1 in 6.

What’s on offer:

  • Competitive and negotiable salary depending on experience
  • Vehicle provided
  • Accommodation available if required
  • RCVS, VDS, AVSPNI and CPD funded
  • Supportive independent team environment
  • Varied and rewarding mixed caseload
  • Excellent lifestyle location close to the North Coast and surrounding countryside

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone looking to join a true mixed independent where you can still enjoy genuine variety, clinical freedom and a strong community feel.
