Looking for a role that offers variety while fitting around your commitments?
We’re excited to welcome an RCVS-registered Small Animal Vet to join our thriving, friendly team on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
About Us
We are a RCVS-accredited, two-site small animal practice based in Bury and Bolton, with a 24-hour A&E hospital in Bury. Our caseload is diverse, fast-paced, and highly rewarding, offering excellent exposure to both routine and emergency cases.
You’ll be supported by a fantastic, experienced team:

14 Vets (including several certificate holders)

The Role
This is a varied and rewarding position, perfect for a vet seeking a balanced workload without out-of-hours commitments or sole charge responsibilities.
The role will involve general veterinary duties, including consultations and inpatient/ward care, with the option to undertake occasional surgical days. Surgical work is entirely optional, making this equally suitable for candidates who prefer a consult-only focus.
As part of a practice that provides out-of-hours services to local member clinics, you’ll have exposure to a diverse and engaging caseload—ideal for maintaining and developing your clinical expertise.
