Cedar Grove Vets have an exciting opportunity for 1st opinion Vet or one wishing to advance their skills in an excellent RCVS Hospital Standard practice on the outskirts of Belfast.
We pride ourselves on creating and maintaining a happy and cooperative working environment where we focus heavily on teamwork. Less experienced vets are mentored to help support them and develop their professional development. Cases are frequently discussed amongst the whole team and difficult cases often benefit from this multidisciplinary approach. All members of the team are encouraged and supported to develop their own interest area and to progress.
