Job description

We’re looking for an experienced and passionate Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and supportive team at our new 24/7 hospital in Warrington.

As our caseload continues to grow, we’re looking for a Vet who enjoys working with a varied and exciting caseload, allowing you to utilise and develop your clinical skills.

You’ll be working within an amazing, newly designed hospital, alongside a supportive team, providing high-quality care to our patients and their owners.

Warrington is the newest addition to our growing group, the 6th 24/7 veterinary hospital designed to deliver exceptional care across first opinion, referral, and out-of-hours services.

This state-of-the-art facility has been thoughtfully designed with both patients and teams in mind.

About animal Trust

Animal Trust stands out from other veterinary services. Firstly, we are a unique Community Interest Company, being the only veterinary CIC in the UK to date. Our primary focus isn't solely on maximising profits; instead, we are dedicated to delivering on our mission and ensuring enough profit to sustain our business in the long term.

Our vision is clear:

No pet should go untreated or face euthanasia when there is a viable treatment option. We firmly believe that pet ownership should be accessible to all, acknowledging that individuals earning the Real Living Wage may encounter challenges in affording veterinary care when their pet falls ill. In response, we aim to assist. Our free consultations and transparent pricing enable our vets and nurses to break down the barriers that stand in the way of pets receiving the treatment they need
