About the Role
Most vet jobs promise a lot. Ours delivers something different.
Not a corporate script. Not a tick-box culture. Just a genuinely independent practice where the people who lead it work alongside you every single day and where your voice actually shapes how things are done.
If you’ve been waiting for a role where you grow clinically, work with an awesome bunch of people (yes, we’re biased but we are still right) and feel like you truly belong - keep reading!
Location: Warton, Lancashire (PR4 1TP) & Blackpool (FY3 9PH)
Salary: £50,000 - £75,000 DOE
Employment Type: Full time or part-time experienced vet wanted
Who We Are
Rowan Veterinary Centre is an independently owned, nine-vet small animal practice with a clear sense of who we are and what we stand for. Our directors, Ruth Mackay and Drew Milner-Dunn, aren’t hidden away in an office, they work in and on the business alongside the team, every week.
Our five values aren’t a poster on the wall. They’re how we make decisions, how we lead, and how we treat each other:
- Be Brave - speak up, challenge the norm, try new things
- Growth - your development is built into how we work, not bolted on
- Respect - for patients, clients, and every member of this team
- Making a Difference - to the animals we care for and the people around us
- Creating Belonging for All - because you should feel at home here
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Clinical Environment
We’ve built something we’re genuinely proud of - a purposefully designed space that makes the clinical work flow smoothly.
- Purpose-built hospital in Warton with surrounding green space, plus a renovated branch in Blackpool
- Separate dog and cat clinical areas; cat-friendly accredited
- Dedicated operating theatre, imaging suite, and dental theatre with X-ray
- Visiting orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeon and specialist cardiologist
- Certificate holders (and those working towards certificates) in dentistry, surgery, ophthalmology, pain management, behaviour and medicine - all supported by Rowan
- Inpatient care on site, with case continuity we’re exceptionally proud of
How We Work Day to Day
- 20-minute consults as standard
- A well-structured day with protected and respected case management time
- Morning, afternoon and evening rounds - collaboration is how we think, not an afterthought
- A psychologically safe culture where questions, ideas and feedback are genuinely welcomed
- Regular check-ins and appraisals with development built in - not just reviewed, acted on
- An experienced, trusted RVN nursing team who take patient welfare as seriously as you do
- A considerate client care team that strives to make a difference every single day
