Unlock your passions @ Oundle Veterinary Surgery
We are a friendly and supportive first opinion, small animal practice located in beautiful market town with easy access to large city and links to Northampton and Cambridge. Ideal area for outdoor enthusiasts as rural location, River Nene access and local sports clubs. London accessible within an hour on the train.
We have a wonderful, happy and stable team which incudes 13 Vets spread over 3 sites. We rarely have a Vet vacancy and are currently growing the team. We have team wellbeing activity sessions (within work hours) quarterly and we have regular Vet meetings to discuss cases and ensure we are all aligned. We are fully supportive of growth and development and have a high number of experienced Vets on hand to support. We have an Exotics specialist within our site and support Vets wishing to study further. We currently have one Vet currently studying for their Medicine certificate. We are recognised as a Midlands Centre of Excellence Practice and we believe this is down to the management of our staff.
Practice facilities include routine multiparameter anaesthetic monitoring, access to dental x-ray, endoscopy and lap spays at sister site with opportunity to follow cases through.
