Are you a motivated small animal vet ready for your next adventure? Seafield Veterinary Practice is seeking a confident all-rounder dedicated to high clinical standards. While the role is primarily based at our Keith branch, you’ll occasionally provide support at our Banff and Buckie clinics.

You’ll enjoy a varied caseload, including consultations, soft tissue surgeries, and dental procedures, with opportunities for internal referrals to our Banff branch. Although predominantly your caseload will be centred in small animal, our Buckie branch offers the exposure to some exotics.
