Join the second oldest animal welfare charity in the world and make a real difference every day! Established in 1836, the USPCA is committed to preventing cruelty and relieving animal suffering – a purpose that has remained unchanged over that time.
Our Newry-based practice provides an affordable veterinary service while caring for shelter animals and wildlife – making this a genuinely rewarding role. 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 supplies store.
You’ll enjoy a varied medical and surgical caseload – including wildlife – in a supportive environment. You will be joining a close knit, experienced team of 3 veterinary surgeons, 3 RVNs and 2 ANAs.
Our full-time contract is 35 hours (part time will be considered), typically 9am-7pm but shorter shifts can be accommodated. There is time off in lieu for overtime worked. There is no OOH and Saturdays are shared within the team.
We would be open to both full-time or part-time applicants, ideally with a minimum of 2 years experience as they will be required to work sole charge at times, however we would be open to supporting a new graduate for the right applicant.
Package:
- Salary starting at £43,000 D.O.E
