An innovative veterinary service is launching a brand-new out-of-hours and emergency veterinary service, designed from the ground up to deliver exceptional patient care and create a workplace where veterinarians truly enjoy working in an emergency environment. Located in Tyne and Wear, this role offers a competitive salary of up to £80,000, subject to experience and qualifications.
