    • Flexible working options available
    • Salary range: £55,000 – £70,000 (DOE)
    • Opportunities to specialise and work up complex cases
    • Ideal for vets looking to gain hospital-level experience within a general practice setting

    What’s On Offer?

    • 6.6 weeks annual leave (including bank holidays)
    • £1,750 CPD allowance per annum
    • Support for certificate study and further qualifications
    • RCVS & two additional memberships paid
    • Health & wellbeing benefits, including contributions towards physiotherapy & dental care

    • Employee discount 
    • Annual salary reviews and structured career progression
    • A team-focused environment with regular social events
