An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate Small Animal or Mixed Veterinary Surgeon to join a thriving independent practice in Northumberland. Established in 2017, this relatively young practice has grown steadily and successfully, allowing the team to shape it into a supportive and friendly environment where clinical autonomy and job satisfaction are prioritised. You'll work in an amazing team where everyone is genuinely invested in the practice's success, fostering a personal approach that both clients and staff truly value.
This role offers a unique mix of small animal work with some farm duties, primarily focusing on beef and sheep, depending on the season. While the main caseload is small animal, the farm work is flexible, with some out-of-hours large animal cases, and they welcome vets with a preference for small animal practice. If you have a special interest or would like to pursue a particular area, they encourage you to develop those interests with full support from the team. Recent additions like a new dental suite reflect their commitment to continuously improving our services.
Located just 2 miles from a stunning coastline, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this role allows you to enjoy breathtaking views and outdoor activities on your doorstep.

You can also enjoy the vibrant shopping and nightlife of Newcastle, just 30 minutes away, and the convenience of Edinburgh only an hour's drive from the practice.
You'll receive a competitive salary with additional benefits and be part of a practice that feels like a family-Friday drinks, summer BBQs, and family-friendly events are just part of the culture. If you're looking to join a growing practice where you have the chance to make an impact and enjoy life in one of the UK's most beautiful regions, this is the role for you!
