Job description

Salary up to £65,000 DOE, plus Relocation Allowance up to £8,000 and up to £5,000 welcome bonus
This is a truly varied position, ideal for a vet who enjoys the balance of large and small animal care. Approximately 65% of the work is focused on farm animal cases,mostly cattle, with some equine and the remaining 35% centres around companion animals. You’ll be based across our three branches in Maghera, Kilrea and Dungiven, so a valid driving licence is essential.
You’ll have the chance to form strong client relationships and work with a wide range of species, from farm animals and horses to dogs, cats, and even the occasional exotic pet. No two days are the same, and you’ll be well-supported every step of the way.
Our clinics are well-equipped to handle the wide range of cases we see, with tools such as easy scan, small animal ultrasound, IDEXX lab stations, X-ray, ECG, endoscopy, and more. We have excellent kennel and stabling facilities, a horse stock, and even a small ruminant operating table.
From day-to-day consults and routine procedures to more complex surgeries and emergency care, you’ll be supported to develop and thrive in all areas of practice.
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.
