Company Description
Doorstep Vet is an award-winning mobile practice bringing high quality veterinary care to our clients’ homes in and around Newcastle-upon-Tyne. We opened our wheels in 2022 and have grown rapidly- we are now a highly experienced team of 8 with two vans and an office next to Newcastle Airport. This is also where the vans depart from every day. The practice is independently vet owned.
What makes us special? Without doubt it is the client and patient-focused culture of the practice and the reputation we’re building for this. It’s this philosophy that’s just won us the Best UK Vets “Best in County” award 2025 (Tyne & Wear).
Our mobile setup is highly professional, with two modern, fully equipped consulting rooms that would rival that of any standard practice setup. We have the support of a large practice group in Newcastle for anything urgent or out of hours. Contextualised care forms a huge part of our ethos. Our service is highly personal, very professional and tailored to each client and their pet.
We may be small, but we've achieved a lot in the space of 3 years, including:
* Triple Petplan nomination in 2024 and a clean sweep across all categories in 2025
* UK Startup Awards 2024 Finalist
* Shortlisted for the 2024 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards
* and most recently we've been named Best Vets in Tyne and Wear, 2025.
Role Description
Due to continued growth we are now seeking an additional vet to join our team. This role could be adapted to part or full time depending on the individual. This is a consulting-only role. With our longer appointment times (up to 30 minutes as standard), this role would suit someone who loves meeting people as well as caring for their pets, and who relishes the opportunity to go the extra mile for their patients and clients.

Dedicated team of office support staff
Modern, fully equipped consulting room – probably nicer than anything you’ve worked in before!

We choose who joins our team carefully to ensure it’s a two-way fit. We want whoever takes up the role to share the same empathy and passion for customer and patient care as we do. In return you’ll find like-minded, supportive and genuinely friendly colleagues who’ll help make each day a more fulfilling experience.
If this sounds like it’s for you, you’ll be invited to spend a couple of hours in the van to ensure you understand what we’re about and that you’re happy with it – we did say it’s a two-way process after all… 🙂
