Find Your Future With Kernow Vets
Kernow Veterinary Group is looking for a small animal vet to join our team. This is a full-time role, 40 hours over a 4-day week, promoting a great work/life balance. We are also open to part-time applicants. Our current team consists of 22 small animal vets across five sites, along with a dedicated farm & equine team.
Our Talented Team
We seek someone to complement our supportive team, which includes certificate holders in Ophthalmology, Dermatology, & Behaviour, as well as recent graduates under the IVC graduate academy. We provide referral services in Behaviour, Ophthalmology, & Dermatology.
