Are You a Vet Who Wants to Love Their Job Again?
Maybe you weren’t even planning to look. But maybe something’s been nagging at you—feeling like you’re just ticking boxes instead of making a difference. Maybe you want more connection, more purpose, and (let’s be honest) no more 10-minute consults that feel like a game of speed-dating.
We get it. And we built our practice for vets like you.
What’s the Dream?
Here’s what we think makes the dream job:
1. Time to actually be a vet—20-minute consults, smaller client-per-vet ratios, and a team that values quality over quantity
2. A practice that welcomes your ideas, your passions, and your terrible (or excellent) sense of humour
3. An independent, community-driven clinic where your input actually matters
4. Support to pursue your special interests—we’ll back you all the way
5. A team that believes fun and well-being are just as important as clinical skills
6. Clients who are bonded to the practice and happy to visit for follow-ups (our membership-only model makes it easy!)
7. Tech that helps you, not frustrates you
8. A place where, when things go wrong (because, let’s be real, they do), we focus on learning, not blame
If any of that sounds good, you’ll probably love it here.
What You’ll Get
A role designed for vets who want to enjoy their work again:
1. Clinical freedom and time to do things properly
2. A team that’s got your back (and your lunch when you forget it)
3. CPD budget, clinical clubs, and all the support you need to keep learning
4. Full or part-time hours, returning to work? —we’re flexible for the right person
5. Competitive salary, because you’re worth it
6. Generous holiday allowance (yes, we do want you to have a life)
7. Digital X-ray, in-house lab, laparoscopic kit… and (yes, really) a CT scanner
8. A focus on preventative medicine, because catching things early just makes sense
9. Tech that helps you connect with clients, not battle against them
A practice that values well-being:
1. A mental health ambassador on the team (because we actually care)
2. A supportive, no-blame culture—mistakes happen; learning is what matters
3. More than just colleagues—an actual team
Oh, and there’s cake. Of course, there’s cake. (Plus a beach nearby if you want to walk it off afterwards!)
Location, Location, Location!
We’re based in beautiful Formby, nestled between sandy beaches, pine forests, and home to the famous red squirrels (they’re adorable, trust us).
Love the outdoors? You’ll be spoilt for choice with coastal walks and nature reserves right on your doorstep.
Need to get into the city? Liverpool’s just down the road, with all the culture, nightlife, and shopping you could want.
Looking to settle? Great schools, friendly communities, and space to breathe—whether you’re a solo adventurer or bringing the whole family.
Is This You?
This job won’t be for everyone—and that’s okay. But if it sounds like something you’d love, we’d love to chat.
No pressure, no commitment—just a conversation to see if we’re a match.

Or be old-school and pop in for a cuppa (there’s usually cake—did we mention the cake?)
Because in the end, we don’t regret the things we did… we regret the chances we didn’t take.
