This is a fantastic opportunity for a vet who wants to become part of something genuinely exciting from the very beginning. The practice has ambitious plans for the future and is building a friendly, supportive team with a strong focus on providing excellent patient care while creating a really positive working environment for its people.

The Role:

The successful Veterinary Surgeon will work 40 hours per week over four days, giving them a fantastic four-day working week and an excellent work-life balance.

A New Practice With Big Ambitions

For those who love the outdoors, County Durham has plenty to offer. The county stretches from the Durham Dales and its walking and cycling routes to the Durham Coast, with dramatic clifftop scenery, beaches and coastal walks.
