Salary up to £70,000 DOE plus Relocation Allowance up to £5,000

If you're looking for a genuinely varied mixed role where no two days are the same, Robson & Prescott Vets could be exactly what you're looking for. Based in the heart of beautiful Northumberland, we're a well‑established mixed practice with a team of 27 veterinary surgeons providing exceptional care across small animal, farm, equine, exotics and export work.
