Out-of-hours cover is provided by the local 24-hour veterinary hospital in Southend-on-Sea.
This is a small animal Veterinary Surgeon role with Rochford Veterinary Surgery, an independent practice in Rochford, Essex.

Rochford is described as a historic market town with countryside, coast and direct rail links into London close by, giving the role a strong lifestyle appeal as well as a varied clinical setting.
The practice is independent and family owned, so decisions are made locally by the people who work there. The team includes the practice owners, Ian and Zoe, along with five RVNs, three receptionists and Karon, the Practice Administrator.
