How to apply
As you will be in frequent contact with owners and referring veterinary surgeons, a good, confident and sympathetic manner with both clients and professional colleagues is essential. For this reason, we look for those who have been qualified for at least a year and who are registered with the RCVS. Fluent spoken and written English is essential. Please note that it is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure they have the correct credentials to apply for a visa to work in the UK .
In addition to a competitive salary and rent-free free accommodation, we also provide a mobile phone, uniform and private health insurance. More importantly perhaps, we offer good working conditions and, we believe, a happy and supportive environment. There is ample scope for your professional development and continuing further education within the practice.
