Are you a newly qualified Veterinary Surgeon looking to begin your career in a supportive, friendly, and progressive practice by the sea? Rosevean Veterinary Practice is excited to welcome a motivated and compassionate New Graduate to join our Small Animal team.
Rosevean Veterinary Practice is a well-established, community-focused clinic located in the heart of West Cornwall.

This position will be focused exclusively on small animal work. This is a full-time, permanent position ideal for a new graduate eager to develop their clinical skills and confidence.
