About Veterinary Vision
Join our expanding Ophthalmology team at our new Bamber Bridge Hospital!
We are a leading, referral-only ophthalmic practice with four purpose-built centres across the UK: Penrith, Sunderland, Glasgow, and Bamber Bridge. Currently expanding to accommodate an increased caseload, we are seeking an additional veterinary ophthalmologist to join our team.

- Rare services such as retinal re-attachment surgery
- Support from 3 qualified ophthalmology certificate holders at Bamber Bridge
- State-of-the-art, sustainable facility designed for cutting-edge ophthalmic care
