Equine Vet Maternity Cover - Derbyshire

Our Markeaton practice is set in the tranquil Allestree area of Derby and offers high level equine and farm veterinary services. We have experienced and dedicated teams and access to excellent facilities. These facilities include sixteen stables with boxes for critical care patients and foaling boxes and an operating theatre. We are a Clinical Associate Practice of the University of Nottingham.

Our friendly team of seven equine vets have varying experience, from recent graduates to certificate holders, with different individual interests including but not limited to lameness, medicine, dentistry and reproduction. There are regular case discussions and individual development is supported and encouraged. We also have regular assistance from Nottingham Vet School staff and from visiting specialists. The equine veterinary team is supported by and excellent equine nursing and reception team.

This maternity cover role will likely to last for 12 months and might possibly lead to become a permanent position.  Primarily being an ambulatory role, we have hospitalisation and operating facilities available in an Equine Clinic with the usual range of toys, providing an outstanding level of client care and dealing with a varied equine caseload. There is the opportunity to follow cases through with support from the team when required. We have friendly clients who are primarily sports and leisure horse owners.  Due to our relationship with Nottingham University, we have students with the equine team once a week and you may be asked to take a student out on your round.  We will support you fully in your time with us.
