We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon who is as enthusiastic about animal care as we are! You will have a mix of consults and surgery so you have the best of both worlds. Case continuity is encouraged, as we recognise how rewarding the development of the client/pet/vet bond can be. We strongly encourage career development so if you wish to pursue a specialism or certificate, we would be delighted to discuss this with you.

This is a part-time position of 20.5 hours per week, spread over 2 days. You will have a 1:5 share in the Saturday rota (finishing at 2pm).

Abbey Vets established since 1994, is a two-site practice located in the beautiful County Durham.

Both practices are equipped with digital x-ray, dental x-ray, in house haematology and biochemistry including SDMA, T4 and other extended panels. In addition, we have ultrasound, laser therapy, cautery, multi-parameters and bair huggers. We have separate dog and cat waiting areas and are an ISFM silver cat friendly clinic at our Chester le Street site and are working towards this at our Durham surgery.

Chester-le-street is our larger practice having an endoscope, tonometry and Imagyst.

Across the group, we have 9 experienced Veterinary Surgeons. Our long-standing team members are friendly and look forward to welcoming a new colleague.
