About Us
Chaseview Veterinary Clinic has been serving the local community for over 100 years. What began as a practice supporting local farmers has grown into a thriving 11-vet mixed practice delivering high-quality veterinary care across small animal, farm, and equine sectors.

The role offers excellent variety, clinical freedom, and the opportunity to develop your own interests within a supportive environment.
Our in-house out-of-hours service is shared fairly amongst our 11 vets, allowing continuity of care while maintaining a sustainable work-life balance.

- Smallholder support including goats, alpacas, donkeys and sheep
We undertake very limited TB testing, allowing more time for rewarding clinical work.
