About Us
Quarry House Vets is a local independent small animal veterinary practice. Our main practice is in Torquay with our smaller clinics in Newton Abbot and Teignmouth.

We undertake a wide range of surgical procedures including BOAS, dentals and have the latest in-house laboratory equipment. You can find out more about our services on our website: quarryhousevets.co.uk
The Role
This is a challenging, yet very rewarding role where you will carry out consultations, work up cases, perform general surgery, and handle basic imaging. You will also visit our animal charity partner to undertake veterinary duties there.
You will be working closely alongside a talented and dedicated group of professionals who value colleague collaboration, team and individual learning development, and exceptional patient care. This is the perfect opportunity to join an experienced, fun, friendly, and supportive team.
