We’re going through an exciting period of change, so this is a great opportunity for you to get stuck into a growing business and make your mark.

Our surgery is purpose built to deliver the highest clinical standards and provides excellent facilities, giving you access to all the equipment and space you need to care for your patients. Take a tour of our practice and see for yourself! You’ll see a mixed client base, including a high proportion of dog lovers, and work up your own cases, giving you the opportunity to develop any specific interests you have with certification encouraged and fully funded. The team hold a variety of individual interests, including a Mental Health First Aider, and regular CPD is encouraged and supported for all colleagues.

We actively support our colleagues to have a healthy work/life balance and we’re always happy to look at flexible working and job share options.
