We are 100% small animal, 6 Vet, single centre practice in the rural market town of Fakenham, close to the beautiful North Norfolk coast.

We offer a good work-life balance, working a minimum 25.5 hours per week and 1:4 on call. We have excellent, supportive nursing, reception and admin teams. You will have clinical freedom, but support where necessary. All the vets work closely as a team and referral between individuals within the practice is encouraged.
We are looking for an Experienced Vet with a surgical bias who will work together with our senior Clinical Director to further progress the surgical side of our practice, with a view to taking referrals. At present we perform complex orthopaedic and soft tissue procedures, eg: TTA, ESF, spinal laminectomy, arytenoid lateralisation, TECA BO, Thoracic, etc. We would like someone who is highly motivated but also client orientated to join our team.
