They have a good range of ages and skills within their existing vet team, by joining their vet practice, you will enjoy support from a wonderful team including 4 qualified RVNs, 2 student vet nurses, 4 receptionists and 2 kennel assistant.    

Their bright, air-conditioned surgery is purpose built to industry leading standards and has state of the art equipment including digital x-ray, ECG, Idexx in-house laboratory, ultrasound, dentistry facilities and I-phone/I-pad heart monitor and they are the only practice in Kings Lynn to use Sevoflurane.    

They are a progressive practice and have ambitions to provide world class clinical care at the very heart of their community and they need great people to join their team to help them realise this vision.    

What they are looking for:

You'll need strong general medical experience with demonstrable surgical skills and confidence in communicating with owners and their pets. One vet there has a particular interest in exotics so if you want to gain more exposure to exotic cases or have a specialism you're keen to develop, this could be a great opportunity for you!

They are looking for a vet who enjoys being a vet, values a good salary, is interested in engaging in all aspects of veterinary care and enjoys clinical discussions and mentoring all members of the team. An interest in studying for a certificate would be encouraged and funded.
