The Team:

Hours: The hours are flexible and can be discussed to achieve a good balance between home and work. The role includes a shared weekend rota of 1 in 3 Saturdays, which is kept to routine appointments with no operations.

The Candidate:

  • The ideal candidate will have solid GP experience, excellent communication skills, and a passion for providing the highest level of veterinary care.
