Branch:

Quarrington is in a rural location on the outskirts of Sleaford, which has good train and road links to Nottingham, Lincoln, and London. Medivet Quarrington is a lovely purpose-built practice, with large prep and theatre areas that consist of 2 dedicated sterile theatres, a non-sterile theatre, and a dedicated X-ray room. We hope to expand to CT or MRI in the future. There are also separate dogs, cats, and exotic wards.

You will be joining 3-4 other vets at the practice who hold a certificate in surgery and emergency medicine and surgery. They are also working towards their imaging and dermatology certificates. These vets work alongside a team that currently consists of a head nurse, a student nurse, an RVN, a patient care assistant, and a client care assistant.
