Are you an experienced vet with a genuine passion for people as well as pets? This brand-new, state-of-the-art hospital in Middlesbrough is seeking a Lead Veterinary Surgeon to guide a talented clinical team and help shape the standards of care delivered to patients across first opinion, referral, and out-of-hours services.
