Hours: Mon-Sun Twilights 2pm-12, 7 days off, Mon-Fri days (8-7/9-6)

We have an exciting opportunity for you. This twilight vet role would suit vets with a keen interest in ECC who want to explore a busy and rewarding caseload with full support from experienced colleagues. Some experience in practice is required but they could support vets from 12 months post graduation to excel in this role.

There is support to learn and develop in medical approach to cases, imaging and surgical management of these patients. When on days, you will have a varied role with shifts in medicine, surgery, emergency and consulting.  

The shift pattern offers a great work life balance with 7 twilight shifts (2pm-midnight) followed by 7 days off and then Mon-Fri on days
