About you and the role
This is an experienced veterinary surgeon role who will ideally be confident with all routine surgical and medical cases and enjoy variety within your role.

We are based inside a busy Pets at Home store in the centre of town, offering free onsite parking, a train station within a couple of minutes' walk, easy access to the M1, and just 40 minutes from both East Midlands Airport and Birmingham Airport.
