The practice is also well-equipped with modern facilities and tools, allowing for comprehensive diagnostics and high-quality treatment plans.

This role is perfect for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who is passionate about veterinary medicine and wants to deliver the highest levels of care to clients and their pets. The ideal candidate will be confident in handling a variety of cases, from routine consultations to more complex surgeries, and will be motivated by the chance to make a real difference in the lives of animals and their owners.

In addition to clinical skills, the practice is looking for someone who shares their commitment to continuous learning and development. They offer a competitive salary, a generous CPD allowance, and opportunities for further professional growth. With the practice’s strong focus on mentorship and support, this role is suitable for someone who wants to enhance their skills in a nurturing and forward-thinking environment.

This is a wonderful opportunity to join a practice where you can thrive professionally while enjoying the unique blend of city and countryside life that Tyne and Wear offers. If you are looking to be part of a team that values independence, professional freedom, and the highest standards of care, this could be the perfect role for you.
