About the Practice – Friendly, Expert Care

This is a well-established, independent multi-disciplinary veterinary practice providing expert, comprehensive care across a wide area of the Moray Coast region. The practice operates from four sites, with a central main practice supported by three branch surgeries. Services are provided to domestic pets, equine patients, and commercial livestock, covering a large and diverse geographical area including coastal, rural, and inland communities. As an independent practice, there is a strong emphasis on continuity of care, long-term client relationships, and clinical autonomy, allowing vets the time and support needed to deliver high-quality medicine and surgery. You’ll be joining a modern, well-equipped mixed practice with excellent facilities. The team is a supportive mix of experienced clinicians and developing vets, with hands-on support from engaged directors and management. The client base is loyal and appreciative, with consistently excellent feedback.

The Role:

• This is a predominantly equine veterinary role, ideal for a vet who enjoys being out on the road, building long-term client relationships, and managing a varied and rewarding equine caseload.
• Key aspects of the role include:

• A largely equine workload, including routine ambulatory work, preventative care, lameness investigations, and emergency call-outs.
• Responsibility for managing your own equine caseload, with the opportunity to work independently in sole charge when appropriate, while still having access to experienced colleagues for support and case discussion.
• Use of a company-provided vehicle for equine work across a diverse rural and coastal area.
• Participation in a shared on-call and weekend rota, structured to be fair and sustainable across the team.
• The opportunity to develop and deepen your equine skillset, with support for CPD, certificates, and areas of special interest.
• One day per week in small animal practice, helping maintain a broad clinical skill set and providing variety to the working week.
• A balance of ambulatory, clinical, and collaborative work within a supportive mixed-practice environment.
• Full-time or part-time hours considered, with flexibility where possible.

This role would suit an equine/mixed vet who values autonomy, enjoys a hands-on role, and wants to work within an independent practice that supports both clinical excellence and work–life balance.

The Package

• Salary up to £70,000, per annum, dependent on experience.
• Funded CPD.
• Pension scheme.
• Support with certificates and ongoing career development.
• A positive, learning-focused working environment.
