Small Animal Vet, Southampton

We have a great opportunity for a small animal vet on the sunny south coast. Due to our long-standing, vet relocating, we are looking for a small animal vet to join the team. Experience is an advantage but not essential and we will consider both full-time and part-time working patterns as we have great flexibility within the existing team.  

This practice falls under the umbrella of the ‘Southampton Hub'; 5 sites in Chandlers Ford, Shirley, Southampton, Botley and Hamble working together, so whilst you will be work predominantly at 1 site and have the opportunity to build up your own client base, you also have the support of 7 other vets when you need it.

Our loyal, local clients love the personal service we offer and you will be working with a fantastic support team of experienced RVN's, PCA's and dedicated receptionists. We are looking for a highly motivated individual who relishes the challenge of growing the practice on the solid foundation that has been established.

Our practice ethos is one of passion and compassion. But do we live by it?  Decide for yourself….

Passion

• We know equipment makes your life easier so we have digital x-ray and multi-parameters monitors.
• We encourage everyone to develop themselves professionally, no matter what stage you are at in your career. CPD is actively encouraged and funded.
