Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal

We prioritise efficient on-the-day emergency consults with our dedicated ECC shifts. ECC vets manage emergencies at our main branch, allowing other vets to focus on their scheduled procedures. These shifts come with a dedicated nurse, ensuring seamless patient care.
Nestled close to the captivating Northeast coast, we're surrounded by miles of unspoiled beaches and conveniently located within striking distance of vibrant Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.
Our team is a powerhouse, comprising 15 vets, 14 RVNs, 4 SVNs, 4 ACAs, and 18 dedicated support staff. Our RVNs are well-equipped, trained in schedule 3 procedures, and some are actively pursuing qualifications in behaviour, emergency and critical care, and feline nursing. We take pride in our multiple certificate holders in ECC, internal medicine, surgery, and dentistry. Plus, we're thrilled to have a vet who specializes in advanced rabbit and small mammal medicine and surgery.
