We are also PSS accredited, Cat friendly Silver, and a Rabbit friendly listed practice.
The practice is in a great location as it is a commutable distance from North Manchester but is also at the base of the Pennines giving you access to the best of both worlds.
You will be an experienced vet who is confident in routine surgery looking for your next steps in your career, or an existing certificate holder/working towards a certificate. Laoise, Ally, Dani, Vicky, and the team are happy to support this, providing support with CPD and Certificates.
This role is looking to pay up to £70,000 (FTE, DOE). A relocation package can be discussed (Subject to T&Cs).
You will join a supportive team that enjoys socializing outside of work. Ideally this is full-time, but part-time can be considered too. Rota 1:4 Saturdays, no Sundays or OOHs. Generous CPD allowance. Have your birthday off!
We are on the edge of town, with the M65 and train station only ¼ of a mile from the practice. Colne is a rural-based town with access to Manchester for city life, or outdoor activities such as climbing Pendle Hill, walks in the Dales, and visiting The Lakes on your days off.

Equipment includes doppler ultrasound, operating theatre, electrosurgery unit, tonometry, dental x-ray, and a growing orthopedic kit. We also have InVue and Sedivue to complete our lab work.
