Our Newry-based practice provides an affordable veterinary service while caring for shelter animals and wildlife - making this a genuinely rewarding locum opportunity.
We are a busy first-opinion small animal practice located within our centre in Newry, which also houses a rehoming centre, wildlife facilities, grooming salon and pet shop supplies. You’ll enjoy a varied medical and surgical caseload - including wildlife - with support from a friendly, experienced team.
We are currently seeking locum cover to support our amazing veterinary team of 3 veterinary surgeons, 3 RVNs and 2 ANAs, with support available on site throughout the day.
We’re looking for:
- a confident small animal veterinary surgeon with strong communication skills and a kind, practical approach.
