We are delighted to be representing one the largest of veterinary care providers in the East Midlands!
They are looking for their next enthusiastic Small Animal Vet to join the Team.... Could this be you?
The main hospital is based in Derby and is home to a busy first opinion practice, a multidisciplinary referral service and an out-of-hours service, taking your skills to different locations.
This role will support the practice sites in Derby, Burton and Nottingham working within the local community offering a high-quality local service.
The Team
At the local practice, you will be supported by a team of friendly and well-trained Client Care Assistants (CCAs) and practice nurses. You will work closely together each day, enabling you to build a close bond both with team members, patients and clients.
They have a close-knit vet team who value the importance of supporting each other and sharing their knowledge to ensure they provide the best possible care to their patients.

The Role
