In their own words

About the company & team

We are looking for an experienced vet to join our friendly, well-established and sociable team. Our team is led by Practice Owner and Veterinary Surgeon, Struan and is made up of 3 FT and 2 PT vets, 4 RVNs, 3 SVN, 1 Practice Manager and an experienced reception team.
Within our vet team we have vast amounts of experience, with 2 of our vets having been qualified 10+ years and the other being a more recent graduate.
Struan is an advanced practitioner in small animal practice and is currently enrolled in a cardiology certificate, for which we have invested in a brand-new ultrasound, and another vet is about to embark on further training in soft tissue surgery, more specifically, BOAS surgery.
We are keen to encourage any specialisation or interest you bring to our team. We also have scope to further build a surgical caseload, however, whether it's medicine, surgery, dentistry, dermatology, or something else we are happy to support in relevant CPD and building a caseload.

The other side of our clinical team are our highly valued nurses, of which 2 are clinical coaches as we are a nurse training practice. Most of our nurses and receptionists have been with the practice for many years as they enjoy the close-knit family feel of the practice, however, they are always welcoming to new team members and make them feel at home. Our nurses conduct their own consults most days of the week and undertake Schedule 3 procedures, enabling the vets to focus on their own consults and surgeries.

Additional information

We take our inspiration from pets in embracing people from all walks of life, and we value, respect and celebrate difference. We encourage our people to be their best selves so that we can create a better world for Pets, our Planet, and People. Our ambition is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and we are intentional in addressing and removing barriers to create opportunities for the exceptional talent and potential in our communities. Even if your skills and experience don't perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
