The well-established team is led by our Branch Partner – Sarah who has celebrated her 11th year with the practice and in now looking to grow the team even further with a Registered Veterinary Nurse.

The caseload varies from routine consultations to procedures, with emergency and critical care which supports surrounding practices with out of hours service.
The recently refurbished practice consists of 3 large consult rooms, a large operating theatre, dog and cat kennels, an imaging suite consisting of digital radiograph, ultrasound, and endoscopy, dental X ray, well-equipped prep area and a large waiting area. We have dedicated night and day teams which both consist of multiple certificate holders in various disciplines within both our vet and nursing teams.
This ideal Nurse would also be happy to consider supporting our other network of North Yorkshire practices across Northallerton and Oak Beck and Knaresborough Rd in Harrogate when needed. This can be offered on a part time or full time basis, just let us know what works for you.
