Mixed Practice Veterinary Surgeon — Farm Bias
Strathspey Vets, Aviemore & Grantown-on-Spey
Are you a mixed practice vet looking for a role where you can enjoy varied clinical work, build lasting client relationships, and live in one of the most spectacular parts of the UK?
Strathspey Vets is looking for a Mixed Practice Veterinary Surgeon with a farm bias to join our friendly, community-focused team across our two branches in Aviemore and Grantown-on-Spey.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident all-rounder who enjoys the variety of mixed practice but has a particular interest in farm animal work. You’ll be joining a long-established practice at the heart of the local community, supporting a diverse client base across Strathspey and the wider Cairngorms area.
About Us
Strathspey Vets is a well-established mixed practice, proudly serving the local community from our branches in Aviemore and Grantown-on-Spey. We provide veterinary care for companion animals, farm clients and a wide range of local animal owners, with the variety and professional satisfaction that comes from true mixed practice.
Our team is approachable, supportive and committed to providing practical, high-quality care. We value strong relationships with our clients, continuity of care, and vets who enjoy being part of rural community life.
The Role
We are looking for a vet who is happy to get stuck into all aspects of mixed practice, with a particular focus on farm work. The caseload will offer good variety, including farm animal work alongside small animal consultations, routine surgery and emergency care as part of the wider team.

Why Strathspey?
This is more than just a veterinary role - it’s an opportunity to live and work in the Cairngorms National Park, one of the most beautiful and active outdoor regions in the UK.
In the summer, you can make the most of hill walking, trail running, mountain biking, paddleboarding, wild swimming, kayaking, climbing, golf, fishing, wildlife watching and long evenings exploring the Spey valley.
In winter, the Cairngorms offers a very different kind of magic, with skiing, snowboarding, winter walking, snow-covered forests, dark skies, cosy local cafés, and some of the best access to mountain landscapes anywhere in Scotland.
Aviemore and Grantown-on-Spey offer a great balance of rural living, community spirit and access to outdoor adventure — ideal for someone who wants a fulfilling veterinary career without compromising on lifestyle.
