They are currently looking for an enthusiastic and experienced veterinary surgeon to join their close-knit team. The role would be ideal for someone with a keen interest in imaging, who is eager to expand their skill set and grow with the team and practice. The current team although small, have clinicians and nurses with interests in surgery, medicine and dermatology and our clients are keen to continue to support them and any new members of the team with any specific interests and career progression dreams you may have.

You will have the option to work consultations only or do a mix of surgery and consultations in which case you will have full surgery days from 8am to 5pm where you will have a busy and varied caseload working alongside the surgical nursing team.
