This is a full-time Veterinary Surgeon role in Atherstone, Warwickshire, offering a four-day working week and no out-of-hours duties. The practice provides a varied caseload within a long-standing and supportive team environment.

The Role

The clinical facilities are well-equipped to support high-quality veterinary medicine, including digital radiography, ultrasound at both sites, endoscopy, electrocautery, cryotherapy, ophthalmic loupes, slit lamp, tonometers, and dedicated dental and orthopaedic equipment. The practice actively encourages professional growth, with a Certificate Holder in Ophthalmology already on staff and other vets pursuing certificates in Surgery, ECC, and Acupuncture.
