Our clients are a friendly practice based in the North East of Essex, near the Essex/Suffolk border and just a short train ride from London city centre.

The role offers a varied small animal caseload and a mixture of consulting and operating, with every vet given a dedicated operating day each week, plus administration time. In taking on this role you would be joining a clinical team of 7 vets and 12 nurses, with strengths in surgery, cardiology, ultrasonography and exotics.
The practice itself is well‑established with excellent facilities including a surgical theatre, prep area, dental suite, x‑ray room, flexible endoscopes, digital tonometer, class 4 laser and echocardiograph on top of the usual essentials. You will find free parking onsite at the practice and bus stops just a few minutes walk from the front door going in both directions for easy commuting. The nearest train station is just under a 30‑minute drive or bus journey south and provides a direct link into London city centre and London Stansted airport for travel further afield.
