Equine Veterinary Surgeon – Scott Mitchell Veterinary Care, Northumberland
Scott Mitchell Veterinary Care are seeking an additional equine vet to join our team of five equine vets plus support staff.
Our team currently includes three certificate holders and one RVN.
Established in 2001, we’re an independent equine and small animal practice serving predominantly Northumberland and County Durham.
Our equine team is based at our recently refurbished headquarters in Hexham, with clinic facilities including staffed 24-hour stabling, stocks, a treatment room, trotting and lunging areas, knockdown and theatre facilities.
We are located in a historic market town that’s frequently voted Rightmove’s Happiest Place to Live in the UK.
We offer a comprehensive first opinion equine service, as well as an increasing referral caseload for neighbouring mixed practices.
Our horse population is diverse, ranging from pet ponies and donkeys to racing and sports horses (including horses regularly competing internationally).
To support this, our vets have access to digital radiography, ultrasound, powerfloats, endoscopes, and we can involve visiting specialists when required.
We’re regularly on duty at races and shows and also provide consulting and lecturing services.
Vets have the freedom to create their own blend of ambulatory and clinic work and can follow their own cases with help whenever needed.
Our CPD budget is unlimited, and we value both hard and soft skills.
There’s the opportunity to get involved with the XLVets community as well as our in-house company CPD Actif, where we combine training with skiing and sailing adventures overseas.
Our ideal candidate could be either a new or recent graduate seeking to work full time as an equine vet with support from colleagues, or an experienced vet considering part-time working.
We’d hope any candidate would take a share in our out-of-hours rota (no more than 1 in 5).
Most importantly, we want someone who cares as much as we do for our clients, their animals, each other, and our community.
