This is an exciting opportunity for a vet with at least 3 years’ UK small animal experience who enjoys working within different practice environments while building strong relationships with multiple teams.

In addition, Stanstead Abbotts is equipped with endoscopy facilities, whilst our Enfield 24-Hour Hospital provides access to an outstanding team of experienced emergency and inpatient clinicians.
To ensure you feel fully supported, you’ll be paired with a dedicated veterinary “Buddy” who will remain a trusted source of guidance and support throughout your journey with Medivet.
Clinical Facilities
Across the region, you’ll have access to excellent equipment and facilities, including:
- Digital radiography
- Ultrasound
- In-house laboratory services

- Access to 24-hour hospital facilities and referral support
As part of the wider Medivet network, you’ll also benefit from extensive clinical collaboration, career development opportunities and access to specialist expertise.
