Person Specification

We are a friendly 6 vet team working in a busy, successful, growing practice with a broad and varied medical and surgical caseload. One of our vets gained his PgC SAS whilst working at the practice and he very much enjoys applying everything he learned in day to day practice. We fully encourage and support further certificate studies and are happy to invest in advanced equipment required to do your job well. We are fortunate to have a highly experienced and supportive team of veterinary nurses and animal care assistants which makes life so much easier.  

Our vets have a great rota with ample long weekends off to ensure they have enough time out of work. Colchester is a thriving town which lies on the Essex-Suffolk border with many picturesque villages and stunning countryside on its doorstep. We are only minutes away from the coast, London and Stanstead airport making it an ideal base for traveling.
