If you are looking to reduce your out-of-hours or weekend work, or looking for a practice that can support your interests up to certificate level, or maybe you're just looking for a change, then we would love to hear from you!

Due to continued expansion, this 4-vet, 5-nurse practice situated just a short drive from Newcastle city centre is looking for a confident and enthusiastic vet to join their friendly team.

The ideal person for this role will have a minimum of 1 years UK experience in small animal practice, be comfortable with routine small animal procedures and occasional sole charge work. In return, you will benefit from clinical freedom, with referral cases being kept within the group. You will also receive an excellent package which includes a competitive salary, generous holiday allowance and CPD budget as well as support and funding towards certificate study for the right person.
