About The Team
You’ll be joining a welcoming and sociable team made up of:
- 2 Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs)
- 3 Student Veterinary Nurses (SVNs)
- Practice Manager
We pride ourselves on being a fun, friendly and supportive team, working together to provide excellent patient and client care.
The Practice & Caseload
We are a busy small animal practice, primarily treating cats and dogs, offering a varied and engaging caseload. While we currently rely on visiting specialists, including orthopaedics, cardiology, diagnostic imaging and ophthalmology, we are keen to develop our in-house clinical expertise further.
Our facilities include:
- Laparoscopy equipment
- Endoscopy
- Orthopaedic kit
- Ethicon harmonic cautery
We are particularly interested in welcoming a GP vet who may be working towards or already hold a certificate, as we look to expand our clinical offering and develop more advanced cases in-house.
The Practice
The practice is due to be rebranded in July, marking an exciting new chapter. We are currently rebuilding consistency and caseload following reliance on locum cover, and are looking forward to becoming a consistently busy, thriving practice again with the addition of permanent vets.
