You will be joining an experienced team with a high caseload in a well-established and respected veterinary practice in Manchester. We are in the fortunate position of being able to offer either full time or part time depending on your requirements and best of all the practice opens at 10am meaning you avoid rush hour traffic.

Full time is 40 hours a week with no OOH and 1:4 weekends consisting of a Saturday only. At Mount Road a collaborative environment is encouraged, with the opportunity to share resources with other local practices and facilitating full continuity of cases. There are sole charge elements to the rota so you must be comfortable with this.
