A four-day week, no out-of-hours and a growing small animal practice make this Veterinary Surgeon role at Oakwood Vets stand out. You will also join a team that is part-way through an exciting refurbishment programme, with new clinical spaces on the way.
Oakwood Vets is looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join its friendly, supportive team in Harleston, South Norfolk. This is a varied role with a mix of consulting and routine surgery, and there is scope to develop your own clinical interests.
The practice is currently part-way through a refurbishment programme, with new consulting rooms, a second operating theatre, a new cattery and a dedicated compassion suite planned. You will be joining a collaborative team that values excellent patient and client care, welcomes new ideas and encourages ongoing practice improvement.
