You will also display good communication skills and the desire to share your knowledge and skills by being an outstanding, positive example to others.

Medivet is growing rapidly and it is an exciting time to join us - we encourage growth and development within our roles and are truly committed to helping our Medivet family members achieve their goals.

The ideal candidate has a keen interest in Feline Medicine and will have a minimum of 1-2 years’ UK small animal practice (or UK equivalent) experience, be confident in their recommendations, and have excellent communication skills. A Feline Medicine certificate is encouraged but not essential. 

Branch:

Our Feline-only clinic is located in a purposely built and separate building, next to our larger Ashby practice which has 3 consult rooms, 1 double surgical theatre, dental suite, digital x-ray room, prep area, and separate dog and cat isolation rooms.  Digital x-ray, ultrasound, and in-house blood machines.

Scunthorpe is located in North Lincolnshire just off the M180 and M18 motorways allowing easy transport links to the Lincolnshire Wolds, Hull, Doncaster, Lincoln, and York. It is a bustling town with restaurants, cinemas, shopping parks, and many other activities.

For those who enjoy the country air and long walk, Scunthorpe is a stone's throw away from the rolling hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the highest land between Kent and Yorkshire. In the Wold, there are many quaint market villages with plenty of independent shops and history to explore.

To the East, there is the popular seaside resort of Cleethorpes with many traditional seaside restaurants and activities, the boating lake, The Jungle Zoo, and Cleethorpes Light Railway.
