Now for emergency and critical care at Vets Now Worcester

Vets Now Worcester has been providing emergency pet care since 2010. Our committed team of vet surgeons, registered veterinary nurses, animal care assistants and receptionists work hard through the nights, weekends, and bank holidays to ensure sick and injured pets get the very best care when daytime vets are closed. We're looking for a Vet Surgeon to join our team, on a full-time fixed term basis, to provide emergency care when it's needed the most.

Now for work-life balance

This role consists of working an average of 40 hours per week across weekday nights, weekend days and nights, as well as a share of bank holidays - never working more than three nightshifts in a row. We appreciate that one size doesn't fit all and are happy to consider part time applicants.
