We are seeking a full-time Emergency and Critical Care (ECC) Veterinarian to join our established and highly stable ECC team, as one of our wonderful vets is leaving to travel the world.

This is not a survive-the-night environment. It is a collaborative, well-resourced ECC service where high-acuity medicine is practised with structure, teamwork and genuine specialist support. ECC experience is desirable but not essential, with generous shadowing and induction into the role.

You will be supported by:

- Highly experienced ECC colleagues

- A newly renovated hospital with CT and MRI

Our department has extremely low turnover. We roster fairly and thoughtfully, balancing the needs of individuals and the wider team. Public holidays and weekends are shared equitably and with consideration.

Recovery time is protected. Remuneration is very generous and reflects the demands of ECC, including shift loading, paid overtime and paid breaks.

We also ensure good food and snacks are always available, because long shifts deserve proper fuel.

Who are we looking for:

- Experience handling varied emergency caseload; or someone keen to expand on their GP skills in ECC
- A clinician who thrives in a team environment and values open communication and partnership.
- A veterinarian who wants to deliver high‐quality medicine within a supportive, respectful and healthy workplace culture

What we offer:

- Flexible schedule offering 3 shifts a week in blocks
- Paid lunch breaks and overtime
- Generous CE allowance and conference leave renewed annually
- Paid, structured 1:1 education sessions with Criticalist Dr Lisa Smart, in-house training, network-wide education sessions and regular M&M; rounds
- A genuinely kind and stable team with minimal turnover

If you are looking to practice ECC, we would love to speak with you.
