The Opportunity
If you’re a confident GP Vet looking for a well-supported, genuinely friendly independent practice, this is a lovely opportunity to settle into a consistent locum booking across multiple blocks.
You’ll be joining a close-knit team where there’s proper structure to the day, good clinical support, and time to do your job well – not just rush through consults.
The Practice
This is a well-established, purpose-built independent small animal practice with a strong local reputation for delivering high-quality, personal care.

✔️ Purpose-built premises
✔️ Strong nurse support (RVN in consults)
✔️ Loyal client base
✔️ Ample on-site parking
The Role
This is a GP locum role with a good balance of consults, routine surgery, and occasional emergencies.
You’ll need to be comfortable working independently at times, but always with a strong team around you.

✔️ 20-minute consults as standard
✔️ RVN support during consults
✔️ Small animal only

About You
You’ll be a confident small animal vet who is comfortable with both consults and routine surgery.
This would suit someone who enjoys being part of a team, values good support, and is happy to contribute to a light OOH rota.
