We can offer you

• An attractive salary of up to £63,000 (Dependant on experience/full time equivalent)
• A generous CPD allowance (Plus funding towards certificates)
• 5.6 weeks initial holiday, rising to 6.6 weeks after 2 years’ service!
• Access to private health insurance
• A contributory pension scheme
• In-house career development opportunity
• Paid membership fees (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
• Funded sponsorship visas
• Access to the reward hub including wellbeing support and pastoral care
