Job Role

We currently have an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Equine Veterinary Surgeon, to join our 8 equine vet and 5 nurse strong team.

We have full clinic and surgical facilities with all the usual toys (DR, gastroscope, ultrasound, video endoscope, surgical and therapeutic lasers). We have a good sports horse base, as well as racing yards, studs and pleasure horses.
