Find collaboration with Vet on the hill

 
Our greatest perk is the team you will join. All of our vets are pursuing CPD(s) in areas that interest them individually, and would happily talk to you about what life is like at Vet on the Hill should you wish to learn more first-hand. If you like the sound of us, we think you should come and meet us. Our promise to you is an environment where you can safely develop and deliver exceptional care to our patients, with opportunity to both provide and receive lifelong mentorship. Most importantly, we will support a healthy work-life balance, whatever that specifically means for you.

Find support by our 6 Vets; including two experienced clinical directors. You will see a blend of consults and surgery, CPD is actively supported and encouraged. 

Experience the support of our 6 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 4 supporting team members, VCA and experienced Practice Manager.

Discover our ethos - teamwork, active listening, kindness and positivity. 
 
We are a close-knit unit, where vets, nurses and receptionists work harmoniously together. To date, team activities have included canoeing, fancy-dress Halloween and a bake-off.
