A wonderful opportunity has arisen for a small animal Veterinary Surgeon to join an independent practice in a bustling town in Somerset.

Some team members have been with the practice for as many as 30 years, a testament to the positive work environment.

As an RCVS-approved nurse training practice, the team includes an amazing nursing team of 2 RVNs, 2 qualified nurses, and 1 SVN, led by a Head Nurse who has achieved a PgC in Veterinary Nursing Rehabilitation. This sociable team enjoys getting together over meals, a bottle of wine, or a night of bowling. They also make the most of the beautiful surrounding countryside, including the Quantock Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, and Exmoor National Park, where you can spot wild ponies and red deer.
