Due to one of our long-standing vets relocating, a rare opportunity has arisen for a small animal vet to join our team. We are a well-established clinic based in the Essex countryside. We have a wide and varied caseload including charity work, with the opportunity to work up cases in-house.
The job will consist of a mixture of consults and surgery. We are happy to accommodate bias or interests.
Flexible work patterns for your best life balance
Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, that’s why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that truly flexes with you and your lifestyle no matter what stage you are in your career.
We work 40 hours over a 4-day week with Saturday mornings shared on a 1 in 5 rota, no OOH as this is through Vets Now.
