Job Details

You will be part of a six-vet team (5 LA vets, 1 SA vet) and will be supported by a clinical director, a practice manager, two nurses and a dedicated reception team. The role is a mix of approximately 90% farm animal (no equine) and 10% small animal (mainly on call and weekends).

The role would suit a candidate with some experience; however, mentoring would be in place for new graduates or for aspiring farm vets with less experience. An interest and enthusiasm in general practice is essential as there is potential for involvement with anything from herd health and preventive medicine to internal medicine and surgery. The desire to pursue professional development and postgraduate qualifications is fully supported and funded.

We are based in the market town of Penrith, just 6 miles from Lake Ullswater and with easy motorway access north and south to 5 international airports. Our focus is on preventive health in both herd/flock health and domestic pets. Our farm clientele are generally progressive and are all within a compact catchment area. Regular routine dairy visits are carried out and encouraged. We have all mod cons including ultrasound, digital x-ray and bull breeding soundness equipment.

The Package
We offer a competitive salary dependent on experience, along with:

  • A 4-day working week, including one long weekend off in 5
    (Fri-Mon inclusive)
  • True clinical freedom and encouragement to follow your chosen clinical interests
  • 2-in-5 out of hours rota with full support provided dependent on experience (the weekend on call duties are shared between the two vets on call)
  • Always two Vets on-call
