About Us

We are an RCVS PSS (and have been for the past 14 years), an RVN training practice, a Silver Cat Friendly practice and we are currently working towards the Silver Investors in Environment award.

Our caseload is varied and as such we also have a visiting Orthopaedic Specialist, so there is ample of learning opportunities.

We are offering a salary of up to £33,500 (DOE). We can consider both full or part time hours, which includes a 1 in 3 full day Saturday rota. No Sundays or OOHs!
