Overview
Are you a motivated small animal vet ready for your next adventure? Seafield Veterinary Practice is seeking a confident all-rounder dedicated to high clinical standards. While the role is primarily based at our Keith branch, you’ll occasionally provide support at our Banff and Buckie clinics.
You’ll enjoy a varied caseload, including consultations, soft tissue surgeries, and dental procedures, with opportunities for internal referrals to our Banff branch. Although predominantly your caseload will be centred in small animal, our Buckie branch offers exposure to some exotics.
Experience is a plus, but not a deal-breaker; we provide mentorship for the right candidate. As we expand to meet growing demand, we welcome applications from consult-only vets, surgical-only vets, or those who enjoy a mix of both. Join us and be part of our well-equipped, supportive team!
Working pattern and location
Keith Branch is open 8:00am - 6:00pm and could offer working hours within this time, be it 4 or 5 days. We are flexible and willing to adjust to a 4- or 5-day pattern and hours to suit both parties. We have vets with varying hours; ideally, we would like a minimum of 4 days until 6 pm where possible with a share in 1 in 4 Saturdays and no out-of-hours requirement.
