Job description

As a growing practice we are always interested in hearing from local talent interested in working with us, because everyone is at different stages in their veterinary career, we are open to speak to anyone. If you are an experienced vet looking for somewhere you can mentor and lead a team, or someone looking for support for a certificate and to specialise your practice, please do get in touch.

About us

The practice is jointly owned by one of our vets Dan and our head veterinary nurse Michelle NCert in anaesthesia. They are supported by a fantastic team of two vets, three RVNs, and two SVNs, plus a supportive front office team who ensure that the vets can concentrate on their cases. Our nurses in practice love to get fully involved and help ease the pressure on the vets so they undertake as much Schedule 3 as possible. We are looking for a vet who would also be interested in coaching new grad vets and nurses, as we are passionate about growing the future of veterinary talent.

Pets just see people. They aren't biased and they don't discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don't perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
