Imagine working in a supportive and encouraging environment where your professional growth is nurtured. The practice offers a competitive salary, tailored to your experience, with additional benefits such as a car, fuel card, and accommodation if needed. Enjoy a generous annual leave package of at least 6 weeks, plus your birthday off, ensuring a healthy work-life balance.

Your hard work will be recognised and rewarded with a 6-month review leading to a salary increase upon successful completion of your probationary period. Additionally, a 12-month review will result in further salary enhancements and bonus-related earnings. Annual salary reviews and a profit-sharing scheme after one year ensure your continued financial growth.

The practice values your professional development, offering a generous CPD allowance, regular in-house CPD sessions, and covering your RCVS and VDS membership fees. Enjoy the peace of mind provided by BUPA healthcare cover, a workplace pension scheme, and full sickness pay after one year of employment. Plus, benefit from discounted pet treatments for your own pets after completing your probationary period.

This role requires a driving licence and involves an 80% small animal, 10% equine, and 10% farm mix, or solely small animal work. The on-call rota is designed to provide ample support, with one night on call per week and one full weekend on call every six weeks.
