Job Description: Our client is seeking a confident and compassionate Veterinary Surgeon to join a long-established and respected small animal practice in the heart of the North East.

The practice promotes great diary management, allowing vets to give quality time to clients, with 20-minute consults and protected time for admin and follow-ups. There is flexibility in role seniority, with opportunities to mentor junior colleagues or support the development of less experienced vets.
