Candidates should have a good level of experience in ECC and knowledge of referral work (for example a rotating internship) would be advantageous. Our night work doesn’t include any of the regular appointments or animal MOTs. It’s very dependent on what arrives at the Practice on any given evening, or what cases there are already within our wards, so this role would someone who likes a varied and reactive environment.

When working, you’ll be covering 38 hours per week involving Mondays - Thursdays (19:00 - 07:30), Fridays (19:00 - 08:30), Saturdays (18:00 - 08:30) and Sundays (18:00 - 07:30).

We can offer flexibility that actually works for you.
