Unlock your passions at Hart Veterinary Centre

We are situated 40 minutes from London. We are 5 minutes from the M40, Oxford City Centre only 15 miles away and we are surrounded by the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. We have a dedicated and supportive team of 13 FTE Vets and 18 RVNs between the two sites as well as a great administrative team. Within our team, we have certificate holders in Surgery, General Practice and Orthopaedics and one studying towards a Diagnostic Imaging certificate.
We have a lot of excellent facilities and equipment including multiparameters at every station, DR x-ray, endoscopes, full range of lab equipment and so much more.
Step into a supportive start
40 hours per week over 4 days a week and three when working the weekend. 9 hour shifts with 1 hour for lunch with the earliest start 7:45am and the latest finish 7:15pm. You will be part of our weekend rota working 1 in 4 weekends, always with a 2nd Vet with a good mix of operating, consulting and in-patient shifts. We have a well-established night service with team members up all night looking after the in-patients and seeing emergencies. We also cover OOH for 5 other sites.
You will be fully supported at Hart Vets! We ensure that the new grad will always have a more senior Vet working with them at all times, including a nominated Vet to call when working OOH. We have done this for many years and have a good system of support ready and available for our more inexperienced colleagues.
