Veterinary Surgeon - Supportive GP Role

Looking for a supportive practice where you can develop your skills and enjoy a great balance of autonomy and teamwork?

Medivet Newcastle-under-Lyme is looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, well-established team. This is a varied GP role , ideal for a vet who enjoys a mixture of consulting, medical and surgical cases and wants the opportunity to continue developing their clinical skills in a supportive environment.

You’ll work three days per week at our Newcastle-under-Lyme practice and one day per week at our Stoke-on-Trent practice , giving you the opportunity to work across two established teams. Our practices are well-equipped with digital X-ray, ultrasound, in-house laboratory facilities and dedicated preparation and theatre space .
