An established small animal practice in the North East of England is seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly and supportive team. This is an excellent opportunity for those looking for a forward-thinking practice and also for those seeking a more senior role.
More About The Practice:
The practice is a well-established entity that has been providing veterinary care to the region since 1950. It is a small animal-only practice spread across four sites, with the main site located in the seaside town of Hartlepool.

The practice boasts a large and dedicated team, including many certificate holders within the veterinary and nursing team. The veterinary team includes certificate holders in surgery, dentistry, imaging, cardiology, and minimally invasive surgery. The practice is well-equipped at all sites, including ultrasound, digital and dental x-ray, and endoscopy/laparoscopy.
More About The Role:
The role is ideally suited for a vet with a minimum of 3 years' in-practice experience who is confident with both routine consults and surgery and is also happy to sometimes work sole charge.
