The Practice

Come and join our wonderful team of passionate vets, nurses, support team and dedicated OOH service, all with varied interests. We promote a supportive and friendly work environment. We are an active training practice, supporting nurses and vets throughout their career progression and strongly encourage further development, with opportunities to advance within the company. Our team consists of 6 Vets, 7 RVN’s, 3 SVN’s & 3 VCA’s. Also not forgetting our excellent support & receptionists’ team.

Situated in the heart of Kettering, close to the A14, our practice is a stone’s throw from all this bustling market town has to offer. From local shops, pubs and restaurants to the museum and train station – which offers direct links to London, Nottingham, Leicester, and Derby in under an hour – all within walking distance from our brand new, purpose-built hospital.      

What make them different...? 

• We encourage all vets to work cases up to a gold standard and encourage involvement with the case even if support/assistance is required from senior vets so that staff can further develop their skills.

• We are a 24-hour forward-thinking hospital looking to build our team to the highest level possible.
• Our brand-new hospital recently opened in September 2021.
• We are well equipped with digital Xray, dental Xray, ultrasound (with a mobile unit that can be used at branches), flexible and rigid endoscopy, laparoscopy and a CT scanner onsite.

This is a chance to be involved in a growing practice surrounded by a motivated supportive team helping you to do the work you trained to do
