You’ll manage a team of 5 vets and support them clinically, with a focus on building strong relationships with clients, patients, and your team.

•    4.6 weeks annual holiday, increasing to 5.6 weeks after 2 years, plus birthday off
•    £1,500 CPD allowance (CPD encouraged)
•    RCVS/VDS fees paid
•    35% discount on veterinary fees
•    Bank holiday rota shared equally (3-4 per year)
•    No sole charge or out-of-hours work
About them:
You’ll be joining 2 Partners, alongside a friendly team of 5 vets, 5 nurses, 2 student nurses, and 2 animal care assistants. The practice is located in the heart of a large market town, close to Leicester with easy access to transport links, including a nearby train station and motorway, and just 40 minutes from East Midlands and Birmingham Airports.
•    Large exotic case load and increasing demand as the only local exotic vets
•    Opportunities for growth and development, including support for exotic certification
•    Located near beautiful natural spots like the Peak District and well-connected to major cities like Nottingham, Manchester, and London
