About us
Our growing practice is run locally by Jonathan who in turn is supported by a team totalling 5 vets including a certificate holder in medicine, a certificate holder in feline medicine and a vet currently working towards a certificate in surgery, 6 RVNs and 2 SVNs, some of whom started their career with us as receptionists and have completed their training with us.
Our clinical team are also supported by a team of brilliant receptionists as well as Emma, our dedicated Business Manager.

The role and you
We're looking for a good all-rounder capable in consults and routine surgery. But with the expertise we already have in the team, we're happy to consider different levels of experience from candidates with some prior background in small animal GP practice.

Our days are structured well too, with 15 minutes given for consults and regular admin time factored in as well as practice and clinical team meetings held throughout the month.
