Join a thriving small animal practice in riverside Maidstone with genuine work-life balance: no out-of-hours cover, minimal sole charge, and a 1-in-3 weekend rota you can discuss. Modern facilities, supportive team, and room to develop your clinical interests.
You'll be joining Maidstone Vets for Pets, a forward-thinking standalone practice that invests in its team and facilities. This is a full or part-time role working up to 40 hours per week (inclusive of paid lunches and weekends), with a 1-in-3 weekend rota on a fair basis that can be discussed for the right candidate. Crucially, there is minimal sole charge and no out-of-hours responsibility, giving you the work-life balance many vets are seeking.
The practice is located in the riverside town of Maidstone, ideally positioned for access to beautiful countryside and beaches, while remaining within convenient reach of Gatwick and Heathrow airports as well as the Eurostar. Free on-site parking is provided.
You'll work alongside a talented clinical team with diverse interests. Two of the vets already hold certificates in medicine and surgery, and the practice actively encourages postgraduate qualifications, CPD, and training in your areas of interest. An interest in surgery or diagnostic imaging would be welcomed but is not essential.
