Job Description: Our client is seeking a Small Animal Vet Surgeon to join a friendly first-opinion setting on a six-month fixed-term basis.

- MRCVS registration

- Strong client communication and sound clinical judgement
- Interest in feline medicine or low-stress patient handling welcomed
Package:
