Acorn House Veterinary Hospital is looking for an experienced small animal vet to join a first-opinion caseload with a good mix of consulting, operating and emergency work. You will have the freedom to follow your clinical interests, while working alongside experienced colleagues and an ECC RVN on site for support.
The rota is designed to be predictable, with a four-day week, a fixed day off, one Saturday shift each month and a shared on-call pattern. The practice provides its own out-of-hours service, with overnight phones handled by the RVC between 11 pm and 8 am for inpatients only.

Facilities also include laparoscopic and orthopaedic equipment, endoscopy, ultrasound, and dedicated dog, cat and exotic wards. The wider team includes 12 vets, Advanced Practitioners in zoological medicine, small animal medicine and diagnostic imaging, plus certificate holders in nursing disciplines and a friendly Client Care team.
