Job description

The Role

We are currently looking for a confident equine vet with some experience to join our fantastic equine team at our Kingswells practice in Aberdeen. Our workload is a mixture of leisure and high-level competition horses with everything in between. Day-to-day duties include all types of ambulatory calls as well as the opportunity to work up cases at our clinic. We also accept orthopaedic, surgical and medical referrals from local practices.

The role could be tailored to the applicant depending on their areas of interest.

Salary

We have purpose-built premises including 7 stables, trot ups, a sand school, a treatment room, stocks, a knockdown box and a theatre. We have an excellent range of modern equipment, including portable DR radiography, ultrasound, shockwave, lasers, and video endoscope/gastroscope. We are 20 mins from the beach, less than an hour to a Munro, 90 mins from 2 ski centres and only 10 mins from Aberdeen Airport, which is perfect for those long weekend breaks!
