* Upholding excellent clinical and professional standards
What Were Looking For

* Small animal experience (or the confidence to grow into it)
* A calm, team-focused approach
* Someone who values balance as much as clinical quality
Why This Role Is a Gem
* No out-of-hours — ever
* No bank holiday working
* Light, sensible weekend commitment
* Fantastic location for coastal walks, countryside escapes, and proper downtime
* A practice culture that respects your life outside work
