About this role

This is a full time Associate Veterinarian position.

You will provide thoughtful, relationship-based small animal care across a varied GP caseload, supported by experienced DVMs, RVTs, technicians, and client care colleagues. The role offers a good mix of consults, preventative medicine, diagnostics, dentistry, routine surgery, and client education, with the support of a team that values communication, kindness, and practical collaboration.

For an experienced veterinarian, this is a chance to join a well-established team where you can practice good medicine, build lasting client relationships, and enjoy a balanced schedule.

• A warm, professional approach to client and patient care
• A genuine interest in small animal general practice
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A collaborative approach with veterinarians, RVTs, technicians, and client care teams
