Job Description

Our client is a corporately owned hospital seeking an Out of Hours (OOH) Veterinary Surgeon to join their dedicated team in Nottingham. This is an excellent opportunity for a vet with a passion for Emergency & Critical Care looking for a new challenge or a better work/life balance.

This well-equipped two-site hospital offers a varied and interesting caseload, supported by modern equipment. OOH Vets work alongside an experienced RVN during shifts and benefit from the support of the wider veterinary group. The service works closely with the day team to ensure continuity of care and clinical excellence.
