• No OOH responsibilities
• Generous CPD allowance
• Pension Scheme
• Paid membership fees (RCVS, BVNA, VDS)
• Social events
• Staff discounts

Working Hours:

40 hours per week

Weekends on rotation

About the Practice

The practice is an independent, vet-owned organisation with branches in Sidmouth and Colyton, situated along the stunning Jurassic Coast. Accredited by the RCVS to Small Animal General Practice standards, the practice is known for its clinical integrity, compassion, and trust. The team comprises skilled Veterinary Surgeons, including a CertAVP holder, experienced Registered Veterinary Nurses, and friendly support staff. The practice prioritises collaboration and values every team member's input. There is no corporate influence, no upselling pressure, and a strong focus on delivering high standards of care.

The practice is equipped with modern facilities, including laparoscopic neutering capabilities, digital x-rays, and ultrasound. The commitment to professional development is reflected in the ongoing training opportunities and clinical freedom provided to the team.

Why This Role Stands Out

The location offers a unique blend of seaside tranquillity, rural charm, and city access. Whether you enjoy walking along the beach, hiking, climbing, or kayaking, the Jurassic Coast provides an idyllic backdrop to your career. The practice fosters a friendly and supportive environment where well-being is a priority, and laughter is part of the daily routine. Compassion and purpose are at the heart of the practice's ethos, making it a place where you can grow professionally and personally.

This role is suitable for experienced clinicians and newer graduates who bring enthusiasm and a commitment to excellent patient care.

Start Date

- Flexible, ideally autumn to winter 2025.
