Work-life balance that flexes with you

Our flexible approach to rota patterns can truly enrich your work-life balance. We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career, and we want to make it easy for you to strike the right balance.

About Us

North Weald Vets has been open since 2004 and has developed over this time. Working with a team of two vets, seven nurses (including one student) and our receptionist we consider the practice to be very friendly and effort is taken to support all members of staff every day of the week. As with other small animal practices, no two days are the same and our rota reflects this. With a new X-ray room and dental X-ray equipment, we are always striving for the next new project.

North Weald Vets is a well-established local small animal first-opinion veterinary practice. We have excellent facilities, such as an Idexx lab suite, digital X-rays, ultrasound facilities, and dental equipment. We also have separate dog and cat wards.

The practice is close to Epping station which provides easy access into London but still maintains a village feel with lots of green space locally.
