Join a friendly, modern two-site practice in the North East with genuine work-life balance. No OOH requirement, supportive team of 5 vets and 7 RVNs, and the chance to develop your surgical skills in a newly refurbished hub.
No out-of-hours requirement. Emergency care provided during opening hours only; clients directed to Westway Veterinary Hospital in Newcastle for OOH situations.
You'll be joining Willows Veterinary Centre, a two-site practice serving the North East between Sunderland and Newcastle. This is a full-time position based primarily at the newly refurbished Boldon surgery, with flexible scheduling: ideally 37.5 hours over 4 days between 8.30am and 7.00pm, plus a 1:4 Saturday rota (9am to 3pm). Part-time options are considered for the right candidate. Best of all, there is no out-of-hours requirement; emergency cover during opening hours is provided, and clients access Westway Veterinary Hospital in Newcastle for after-hours care.
This is a confident vet role focused on small animal work. You'll be competent in neutering, lumpectomies, and surgery on cats, dogs, and small furries. The practice actively encourages further clinical development, and you'll be supported by an experienced team of 5 vets and 7 RVNs across both locations.
Willows Veterinary Centre operates two sites in the North East and recently relocated to a purpose-built hub at Boldon Business Park. The Boldon surgery features 4 consultation rooms, 2 theatres, prep rooms, dedicated dental and x-ray suites, and a quiet area for anxious patients. The practice is equipped with modern diagnostic facilities including digital radiography, ultrasonography, dental radiography, in-house laboratory analysis, and recently introduced laparoscopic spay procedures. The team prioritises creating a welcoming, family-oriented environment for clients and their pets.
As part of VetPartners, the practice benefits from the group's resources and support structure. VetPartners has been recognised as an Employer of the Year for outstanding team culture and employee support.
