Progressive team with great atmosphere, require Veterinary surgeon - Northampton

A well-established small animal practice in Northampton is seeking a qualified and experienced GP veterinary surgeon to join its team. The practice has a strong client base and is known for its friendly, close-knit environment where kindness and respect underpin everything-from patient care to team relationships. Following the loss of its previous premises in a fire, the team demonstrated remarkable resilience and unity, continuing to uphold a calm and supportive atmosphere where collaboration is encouraged and patient welfare remains the top priority. The new, purpose-built practice is due to open in spring, approximately 1.5 miles from Northampton Rail Station and within an hour of Luton Airport. The team consists of experienced and dedicated professionals, including the practice owner and lead vet, consulting vets, nurses, and a long-standing support staff. Many team members have been with the practice for several years, reflecting a stable and cohesive working environment.
