The hospital forms the hub of a group that includes five fully equipped branch practices and provides out-of-hours services for multiple other local clinics.

You’ll enjoy a varied and interesting caseload, with both emergency and advanced medical cases referred from across their network. The hospital is purpose-built and impressively equipped, including a CT scanner, digital x-ray, ultrasound, laparoscopy, endoscopy, and a fully equipped in-house lab. The facilities also include dedicated cat, dog, exotic, isolation, and day procedure wards, supported by an exceptional nursing and admin team.
You’ll be working alongside a highly experienced and friendly team, including multiple certificate holders across a range of specialisms such as orthopaedics, ophthalmology, imaging, and exotics. The hospital also benefits from a full out-of-hours team, allowing for seamless patient care and ensuring a healthy work-life balance for the day team. The practice is deeply committed to staff development and encourages both in-house and external CPD to support career progression and clinical interests.
