South Shields Quays Vets for Pets is a newly taken over small animal practice where work-life balance is genuinely prioritised. The diary is managed carefully to prevent overload, and you'll benefit from strong nursing support throughout your day. With 1 in 3 Saturdays (9am to 12pm only), no Sundays, and no out-of-hours shifts, this role suits candidates seeking real flexibility without burnout. You can work full-time or part-time hours, whichever fits your lifestyle.
The practice is purpose-built, fully equipped, and located inside Pets at Home in South Shields town centre, within walking distance of the coast. With main transport links nearby and convenient access to the A19 and A1, commuting is straightforward. You'll join a team of 2 vets, 4 nurses, 1 veterinary care assistant, 1 practice manager, and 4 client care advisors, backed by strong clinical support from the sister practice in Bedlington.
The practice already has a loyal client base with clear growth potential. Cases can be worked up locally, giving you the opportunity to develop any special interests. Certificates are encouraged and fully funded, and the practice is actively trialling new ideas and equipment including laparoscopic spay technology.
