This family-owned practice has built a loyal client base over more than 25 years and is now seeking ongoing support following the retirement of its Senior Vet. The team is ideally looking for a long-term locum who can provide stability and continuity while future plans for the practice are assessed.

👤 100% sole charge position
🚫 No on-call or out-of-hours requirements
