Easter Ross Vets in Invergordon is seeking a small animal veterinary surgeon to join our team on a permanent basis. We are a first opinion practice where we encourage working up our own medical/surgical cases with access to in-house blood machines, ultrasound and radiography, whilst having good referral practices on our doorstep. We are highly supportive of vets wishing to obtain certificates, offering full funding for continued education. We also support specialisations in areas of surgery and/or medicine. Our practice covers three branches, with Invergordon as the main hub and additional locations in Tain and Alness.

However, we are open to part-time applicants and job shares and can be flexible for the right candidate.
