Small Animal Vet Wanted – Work by the Sea & Live the Adventure!
Dreaming of a veterinary role that balances high-quality clinical work with an incredible lifestyle? Imagine finishing your workday and heading out for wild swimming, paddleboarding, or exploring coastal trails — all just minutes from your clinic. This is your chance to join a friendly and forward-thinking practice located in one of the most scenic corners of the UK: coastal Northumberland, just a stone’s throw from the Scottish Borders and within easy reach of Edinburgh and Newcastle.
You’ll be working in a well-equipped branch that’s part of a larger, collaborative network of practices across the region. The clinic boasts advanced facilities including dental x-ray, endoscopy, high-quality ultrasound, and in-house bloods (EPOC). This is a first-opinion role with clinical freedom and the full support of a large, experienced veterinary team.
The culture? Supportive, sociable, and fun. The team regularly enjoys everything from yoga classes and pottery workshops to water sports and rowing outings — you’ll never be short of good company or adventure.
40-hour week over 4.5 days with a proper lunch break
Time off in lieu for OOH cover (yes, you’ll be looked after)
15-minute consults to allow real client care
CPD fully supported with time off to attend
Silver-accredited rabbit-friendly status
Internal medicine certificate holders and certificate-trained nurses (ECC, anaesthesia, exotics)
Relocation help offered
Staff dogs are welcome!
If you're a recent graduate with a year of experience, you’ll find mentorship, camaraderie, and room to grow. You’ll work with a diverse caseload — mainly dogs, cats, and rabbits, with some exotics and wildlife too.
