About Holmefield
Holmefield is a long-established, 100% small animal practice with a friendly, experienced team. Our main site is well-equipped with digital x-ray, a new ultrasound for abdominal and cardiac scans, K-laser, multiparameter monitoring, and Doppler blood pressure. We have separate species wards, cat-friendly accreditation, and a dedicated bereavement room for peaceful goodbyes. The recently refurbished building is bright and spacious, with a large staff room and a separate vet office for case work and calls.
At our branch practice, we handle consults and routine surgeries, giving staff the opportunity to work in a smaller, community-focused setting. Patient safety is a priority, with high-risk patients treated at the main site to ensure optimal post-operative care.

Join a supportive, inclusive culture where everyone is empowered to pursue their interests and grow. Regular team and practice meetings help everyone feel heard and valued. Our team includes a vet working towards a Feline Medicine certificate, a nurse studying animal behaviour, and an advanced practitioner in small animal surgery.
