An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Veterinary Surgeon to join a thriving and expanding team.

A full team of experienced Registered Veterinary Nurses supports the vets, assisting with consults and vaccinations. The team also includes certificate holders and specialists in areas such as surgery, radiography, anaesthesia, and feline medicine, with visiting referral ophthalmologists.

Located in a charming and historic village featured in the Domesday Book, the practice offers an idyllic mix of rural and urban living.
