Job description

Salary up to £65,000 DOE, plus Relocation Allowance up to £8,000 and up to £5,000 welcome bonus
At Glenshane Veterinary Clinic, we’re offering an exciting opportunity that blends variety, support, and a fantastic community feel. Whether you’re an experienced farm vet or a mixed practitioner who still wants to keep a hand in small animal work, this role could be just what you’re looking for.
This is a truly varied position with a strong focus on cattle. It’s ideal for someone who loves the practical, hands-on nature of large animal care and wants to be out on the road building strong client relationships. Our clients include both experienced commercial farmers and smaller family-run setups, so there’s a real chance to become a trusted part of the local community. You’ll split your time across our three friendly branches in Maghera, Kilrea, and Dungiven, so a full driving licence is essential. If you enjoy some small animal work alongside your farm cases, we can shape the role to suit you with opportunities to work with pets and the occasional exotic species for even more variety.
Our vet team includes six experienced professionals, four of whom have been in practice for over 20 years. That means you’ll always have someone to bounce ideas off, seek advice from, or share a coffee with.
The standard full-time vet rota consists of a 40-hour week, working 1 weekend in 4 with a long weekend off in lieu the following week. There is an OOH requirement to work 1 night per week on call, in the winter months and 1 night per week every fortnight, in summer months. Although this is advertised as a full-time role, we are open to both full time and part time applications.
