Fix or flex – find your perfect balance

We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it brilliantly easy for you to strike the right balance. Whether you are looking to fix or flex your work patterns, we can find the right solution for you. Our vets work various shifts between the hours of 8am and 7.30pm, and 1:4 weekends, with time off in the week in lieu. There is no OOH. We care for our own inpatients overnight, which is nurse-led, with vets taking part in a 1:6/7 inpatient rota to answer questions if needed. Most of our Vets work 4 days per week, split between 3 consult days and 1 guaranteed ops day. We are keen to hear from those looking for full time, part time or flexible work.
