As a busy hospital, we see a wide range of procedures, from routine neutering and dentals to more advanced soft tissue surgeries, BOAS procedures, TECA, and minor orthopaedics. Our large animal work is generally obstetrics, RDAs and LDAs.
Full time working 40 hours a week; however, part time would be considered for the right candidate. 1 in 4 weekends and one set night on call each week – alternating with first on duty one week and standby the following – with time off in lieu for weekends and on call.
