Are you a passionate veterinary surgeon looking to make a real difference in the lives of animals, their owners, and the local communities in which you work?

We are excited to announce an opening for an experienced mixed practice veterinary surgeon, preferably with a small animal bias, at our friendly, relaxed village veterinary practice.

Here, you will join a dedicated team of vets, nurses, and support staff that cherishes the opportunity to provide high-quality care to a wide range of animals from small furies to cattle and sheep on large commercial farms.

Within a mixed practice role, we are looking for someone with the expertise in diagnosing, treating, and performing surgery on our beloved small animal patients, as well as providing preventative health and emergency care to our equine and farm animal patients. For the right person, there is also the opportunity to progress into a clinical practice management role.
