This is a well-equipped, thoughtfully designed practice where you will have access to digital dental radiography and a dedicated dental suite, a full in-house lab, ultrasound, endoscopy, and bronchoscopy, separate cat and dog facilities, including wards and consult rooms and multi-parameter monitoring and a modern theatre

You’ll be involved in a varied caseload across medicine, surgery, and some emergency work, with the autonomy to manage cases in a way that aligns with your clinical judgement.

The Role:

• Competitive salary (DOE)
• 4-5 days per week with 1 in 3 Saturdays (with time off in lieu)
• No out-of-hours
• Protected admin and communication time built into the day
• £1,500 CPD allowance with genuine support for development
• RCVS and VDS fees paid
• 28 days holiday (including bank holidays)
• Standard pension
• Real scope for progression and clinical growth

For the right vet, this offers something increasingly rare: the ability to practise high-quality, relationship-led medicine without compromise.
