We’re seeking an experienced stud veterinarian to join our team, with a primary focus on routine reproductive work including scanning and AI (chilled and frozen), alongside ambulatory foal care.

 The caseload predominantly involves individual broodmares and small studs with some thoroughbred work. The role offers a diverse mix of first-opinion ambulatory cases and would suit vets interested in combining Northern and Southern Hemisphere breeding seasons. Most mares are seen at the clinic and on-call duties are limited exclusively to stud work, ensuring a balanced and rewarding workload.

• 7.2 weeks paid holiday including bank holidays
• £1750 CPD Allowance per annum
