Our days are structured well too, with 15 minutes given for consults and regular admin time factored in as well as practice and clinical team meetings held throughout the month.

In addition to a rewarding role in a superb location, you can also expect to receive:

• Salary up to £65,000 commensurate with experience
• No out of hours
• Paid starting holiday of 5 weeks plus bank holidays (pro rata)
• Paid professional memberships including RCVS, BSAVA and BVA
