We're a bit different here at Barton Veterinary Centre - you'll find no corporate numbers, CPD limits, equipment or payroll caps here!

We are a one-of-a-kind practice in a building steeped in history, and we are seeking a special kind of vet who really cares about patients, clients, premium care, and career progression.

Boasting a 4-day week, no Sunday's and a relaxed Saturday rota, this new role is being advertised to expand and enhance an already happy and committed team. We're more than happy to offer Sponsorship if required.  We have an amazing CPD Allowance, or if you're thinking of further certification, we are happy to support you in a Certificate. We offer an amazing salary, befitting the heights of a positive and progressive Vet - Up to £85,000 (Depending on experience). You'll also have access to our genuinely mind-blowing wider team - Our Network of Excellence - including Ophthalmologists, Neurologists, Cert-Holding Surgeons, Internal Medicine Genuis' and hard-core Imaging colleagues. 

With no corporate misery, incredibly experienced decision-making management (who have years of clinical experience in practice!), equipment high on the list of priorities and self-care considered very important, now is the time to make the move into our dynamic and friendly team.

To be considered you should be a passionate Veterinary Surgeon who is already competent with all routine medicine and surgery, with a view to undertaking further CPD or certification in an area where you feel you can make a difference. Progression should be important to you - and we're very happy to help you get to where you want to be and see you succeed. 

Contribute your own greatness to this immense team. Applications now open.
