Our management team is very experienced, supportive and have an open-door policy where we want you to feel comfortable talking and opening up to us. We have had new graduates for many years and feel we can offer you the support and knowledge that you need to excel in your career.

Step into a supportive start
Your normal hours of work are 40 hours per week, 4 days a week. Due to the particular needs of the business we need to operate a rota system, therefore there are no normal times of work applicable to you and your daily hours, start and finish times will vary from time to time on a rota system. The rota operates Monday to Friday inclusive. In addition, you may also be required to
participate in a weekend rota and/or an out of hour.
Experienced vets to support but younger Vets to liaise with who have been through the graduate programme. Encouraged to follow own cases through and eventually to specialise if they so wish but also to become the best GP vets.
