The Practice Environment

This multi-vet companion animal practice combines referral capabilities with first-opinion care. Facilities include:

• Dedicated orthopaedic theatre, dental suite, and in-house laboratory

• Advanced diagnostics: CT, ultrasound, endoscopy, CR and dental radiography

• A supportive team of veterinary professionals committed to continuous learning and clinical excellence

Nurses play a central role in case management and are encouraged to pursue special interests and qualifications with the full support of the leadership team.

Why This Role Stands Out

- No OOH or on-call

- Clinical variety including referral exposure

- Supportive, experienced team with mentorship in place

- Strong CPD culture and funded career development

- Emphasis on mental health, wellbeing, and flexibility
