About Us
Having recently completed a brand new, huge extension, our small animal practice in Poole Holes Bay, is growing fast and we are now looking for an additional veterinary surgeon to join our friendly team.
Our practice owner, Dan Makin, is an Advanced Practitioner in small animal medicine, and opened Poole Holes Bay Vets for Pets in 2017.
As well as Dan, you will be joining an exceptional team of 24 including, a strong team of Nurses, student nurses and ANAs, all supported by an equally brilliant and welcoming team of 8 client care advisors. This also includes a supportive management team of lead nurses, head receptionist and Practice Operations manager and Mental Health First Aider. Our growing team already includes vets who still require some level of support so for this position, we do require a vet able to support them where necessary.
