What you'll be doing...
We are lucky to be based in a great livestock farming area. The majority of our farm work is with progressive, keen suckler beef and sheep farmers. These range from large commercial herds and flocks to smaller pedigree farmers, and also a few large dairies. We enjoy a range of farm work from routine work, health planning, fertility testing etc. to every day clinical cases and emergencies.
Our small animal work includes surgery and consults with access to the modern diagnostic equipment including dental x-ray and good quality ultrasound, with a move to new shiny premises last year to accommodate our growing caseload. We aim to provide a great first opinion service with clinical freedom to follow cases up and a have a brilliant team of small animal vets for support and case discussion.
So, who are we looking for?
We are looking for someone with experience in surgery and consultations to join our fun and friendly team at our Duns branch from January 2026, our ideal candidate will be keen to share knowledge and ideas and able to work well independently or as part of a team.
