A genuinely different veterinary opportunity — and one with a far better work-life balance than most disciplines offer. A dedicated commercial poultry and game bird practice is looking for a vet to join their team. Experienced poultry vets are welcomed, but so too are small animal or farm vets looking for a fresh challenge — specific poultry training will be provided. Rapid career progression on offer for those who want it.
The practice

- Team of 2 experienced vets, a practice manager, senior administrator and vet tech
- Monthly clinical clubs and a collaborative, close-knit working culture
The role
- Diagnostics via post-mortems, farm visits and laboratory work
- Routine visits for veterinary health and welfare plans and scheme compliance
- Surveillance visits for disease outbreaks including Avian Influenza
- Data analysis, epidemiology and client relationship development
- Occasional export certification
- Monday to Friday, 08:30–17:00 with 1 in 4 weekends on call after training
What we're looking for
- RCVS registered vet — poultry experience preferred but small animal or farm vets considered
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills
- Analytical mindset with good attention to detail
- A team player who is calm under pressure and eager to develop
- A genuine interest in poultry medicine and production
Benefits

- £1,750 CPD allowance plus 5 CPD days per year — at least one international CPD annually
- RCVS membership paid plus two additional subscriptions
- VDS cover
- Car allowance and free on-site parking
- Health cash plan covering dentistry, sports massage and more
- Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental leave and surrogacy pay
- Company sick pay and weekly wellbeing activities
