Job Description

Medivet Quarrington is welcoming a confident and surgically driven Veterinary Surgeon who either holds, or is actively working towards, a CertAVP in Small Animal Surgery.

You will be supported by a knowledgeable, stable team in a practice that genuinely values development, collaboration, and clinical excellence.

• Take the lead on surgical cases
• Support and mentor colleagues
