We have a great opportunity for an experienced, small animal vet to join our close-knit and supportive team.

We believe that this aids in fostering a bonded relationship with our clients.

Work-life balance that works for you

We would welcome both full or part-time applicants. Typically, the hours for this role are 40 hours over 5 days per week, Monday to Friday, plus 1 in 3 Saturday mornings. There are no out-of-hours associated with this role however we occasionally look after our own in-patients - treatment checks which are optional and paid for. However, we understand that you have priorities outside of work therefore we are happy to discuss flexibility around the working days / hours.

Our Practices

We have three surgeries serving the communities around Alton, Bordon and Grayshott. We continually strive for excellence in management, medicine, surgery, diagnostic and service to enrich and lengthen the special relationship between people and their pets.

Both our Alton and Bordon clinics are well equipped to allow surgical work, case work ups and hospitalisation of patients. The facilities include:

• Separate cat and dog wards
• Excellent ultrasound equipment including cardiac probes
• Idexx VetLab stations for same day haematology, biochemistry and electrolytes
• Digital radiograph
• High speed dental handpieces and Bordon has a new digital dental radiograph system

Grayshott is our smallest clinic, based in the centre of a picturesque village. We only offer consultations at our Grayshott practice.

Our Team and Culture

Working in a Vet practice is a big part of our lives, and we want to enjoy coming in to work and to feel appreciated by colleagues and clients. We have a supportive and committed team of 1 Clinical Director, 6 Vets, 5 RVNs, 4 SVNs and 7 Receptionists in our 3 well-equipped surgeries on the Hampshire/Surrey border.
