Join a supportive, family-led small animal practice in South Shields where mental health and well-being aren't just buzzwords. No OOH nights, Saturday sole charge only, and a team that actually invests in your development.
1 in 4 Saturday rota. No night shifts or overnight on-call.
This is a full-time opportunity to join Vets for Pets at the Nook, an established 18-year-old small animal practice in South Shields. You'll be working alongside a friendly, experienced team led by practice owners Kirstin, Tammie, and Kay, who are committed to building an inclusive, family-feel environment with genuine emphasis on team mental health and well-being.
The role involves routine surgery work and sole charge responsibilities on Saturdays only. Full-time hours are ideal, though the practice is open to discussing flexibility. You'll benefit from a well-managed diary that protects administration time and breaks, ensuring a sustainable work-life balance.
Based in South Shields on Tyneside, the practice sits within easy reach of the coast and beautiful beaches, with convenient road, rail, and airport links to Newcastle and Sunderland.

The practice prioritises team well-being and invests in professional development across a range of clinical interests.
Located in South Shields, the practice benefits from proximity to beautiful coastal areas and excellent transport links to major regional centres. Practice tours and facility videos are available on request.
