If you're an experienced vet feeling a bit boxed in, this could be a refreshing move. We’re working with a well-established, multi-vet practice in the North of England that puts team culture and clinical freedom at the heart of everything they do.

You’ll be joining a genuinely supportive environment, where consult times are protected, team meetings are meaningful, and your voice is heard when it comes to shaping clinical protocols and personal development.

The Practice & Team

  • Multi-vet setup with 3 vets, 3 RVNs, 2 SVNs and strong non-clinical support

  • Interests in exotics, soft tissue surgery and ophthalmology already in-house

  • Encouraged to develop your own clinical bias at your own pace

  • Diary structured to allow for proper note-taking, case workups and follow-ups

  • Regular 1:1s and team meetings – everyone has a say

Who This Would Suit

  • A vet with a few years’ experience post-graduation

  • Comfortable with routine consults and surgeries

  • Someone looking to refine a clinical interest or step into a more senior role

  • Surgical or consultative bias can both be accommodated

Working Pattern

  • Full or part-time options available

  • 1 in 3 Saturdays with TOIL

  • No Sundays or Bank Holidays

What’s on Offer

  • Salary up to £65,000 depending on experience

  • Generous holiday allowance including your birthday off

  • CPD funding with certificate support available

  • Private healthcare options

  • Paid professional memberships (RCVS, VDS, BVA + one other)

  • Pension contributions

  • Discounts on vet care and pet-related services

  • Relocation support available

  • Additional team perks and staff rewards
