A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an Advanced Practitioner to join a highly successful and well-regarded small animal hospital in South Yorkshire. Our client is an RCVS-accredited, 24-hour hospital supported by a newly appointed Practice Manager, Head RVN, and a dedicated clinical Nursing team. This purpose-built facility features state-of-the-art equipment, including digital x-ray, ultrasound, a full-body CT scanner, and an in-house laboratory, alongside 3 large consulting rooms, 2 theatres, a spacious prep area, and extensive learning and office spaces.
