Your Role and Responsibilities

The ideal candidate for this role will be an enthusiastic and friendly Companion Animal and Large Animal Veterinary Surgeon, with excellent communication skills. This is a rare opportunity for a vet to join our super friendly, family feel practice where we pride ourselves on providing a good work-life balance along with lots of on-the-job support for our colleagues.

Our mixed practice has a solid farm base and an ever-expanding quality companion animal caseload. The role will be primarily small animal but with farm on-call. We have a growing orthopaedic caseload and perform some more advanced soft tissue procedures in-house too.

Our purpose-built Large Animal unit includes two Easi-scan ultrasound scanners, bull and tup fertility testing equipment and in-house hospitalisation facilities including a calf warmer alongside all the usual equipment. Our large animal caseload does not include equine and is mainly beef and sheep with minimal dairy work, some camelids and goats are seen too. We have pool cars meaning no smells in your own vehicle
