Job Details

The Role
We have an exciting opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon at Catley Cross Veterinary Clinic! The role will mainly include routine consultations and operations, advising clients on care for their animal and carry out diagnostics including x-ray. The standard shift pattern will involve 40 hours a week over 4 days. There will be some weekend and out of hour work, however this is shared equally across the team.

About Us
Catley Cross Veterinary clinic is a growing practice providing both Equine and Small Animal services. We are situated just outside of Halstead on the Essex/Suffolk border.

In 2016 isolation stables were erected, away from the clinic enabling infectious cases to be treated away from other patients.
