We are looking for a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at Thanet Vets and we can offer you something truly unique in return.

We are well equipped with digital radiography and dental radiography, ultrasound, a fully equipped laboratory for in-house analysis and video endoscopy/bronchoscopy.

We are surrounded by sandy beaches, with close links to ferries and the train for various destinations across Europe. We are also within reasonable distance to London for city visits. We are active within our community and as such have built a loyal client base.
