Farm Veterinary Surgeon

Marches Farm Vets

An exciting opportunity for an additional farm vet to join our team of three vets, including one certificate holder, supported by a ATT/Trainee Veterinary Technicians and dedicated administration staff. The practice has two offices (Leominster and Ludlow), including in house examination facilities, and our area of cover is restricted to within forty minutes of a central point, to allow case continuity and avoid long hours spent driving between calls.

We established our practice two years ago after moving the farm side out of a long-established mixed practice, so we have a loyal client base along with additional new clients joining as our local reputation builds. Our work covers a good range of farm types from smaller family farms to large estates and dedicated commercial enterprises covering dairy, (multiple grass based NZ systems)  sheep flocks, suckler herds, and small holders. We pride ourselves in building strong relationships with our clients, enabling progression within their businesses, while maintaining friendly professional relationships.

A good work-life balance is important, so our office closes daily at 3.30pm and no routine calls are scheduled after this time, allowing plenty of time to focus on areas of your life outside work or just enjoy the beautiful countryside around us. During the working day we are in frequent communication and invest in the concept of remote working to allow for efficiency and minimise admin time. We are a small friendly team, all involved in the local farming community, and we regularly hold social events for all staff. As part of the XL Vets community we engage in the multiple areas of support and learning opportunities that this offers.

As our practice is becoming more established, we are looking for a vet to join us who is enthusiastic, proactive, friendly and a team player. As a relatively new business we would welcome someone who is keen to implement new ideas to allow us to offer more services to our clients. We are flexible to consider both full or part time applicants and differing levels of experience.
