Join the Team at Accrington Vets for Pets
Take the next step in your veterinary career with a practice that is committed to your development and professional interests. Whether you’re looking to enhance your clinical skills or pursue a particular area of interest, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
About the Role
Our caseload offers the variety you would expect from a well-established general practice, with a high proportion of insured clients allowing cases to be worked up thoroughly. We aim to keep as much work in-house as possible and regularly welcome visiting specialists. We would also actively support anyone looking to develop specialist skills within the practice.
You’ll become part of a passionate and inclusive team with a great sense of humour and a shared love of cake! The team brings together a wealth of experience across general practice, referral work, and client care, while our nursing team of four RVN’s alone has more than 40 years of combined experience. We have a very passionate and supportive client care team of four, and we are dedicated to delivering exceptional care to our patients and building lasting relationships with our clients.
There are no out-of-hours requirements, supporting a healthy work/life balance.

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.
We are looking for a vet with small animal experience gained in general practice and excellent communication skills. You will be confident with sole charge when required, while also enjoying working collaboratively as part of a supportive team.
