Veterinary Surgeon - Supportive GP Role

Looking for a supportive practice where you can develop your skills and enjoy a great balance of autonomy and teamwork?

Medivet Newcastle-under-Lyme is looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, well-established team. This is a varied GP role , ideal for a vet who enjoys a mixture of consulting, medical and surgical cases and wants the opportunity to continue developing their clinical skills in a supportive environment.
