An exciting opportunity awaits a Mixed Vet to become a valued member of a friendly and experienced team at the UK's most northerly veterinary practice. Nestled in the breath-taking Shetland Islands, you will experience not only the diverse animal caseload but also the rich culture and stunning scenery that make Shetland a truly unique place to work.
Our client is an independent, RCVS accredited mixed animal practice catering to the veterinary needs of the inhabited islands and the Shetlands mainland. From cats to cows, owls to otters, and even the occasional wallaby, the practice handles a wide variety of species. Their close-knit team comprises of 5 Vets, 3 full-time RVNs, 4 part-time RVNs, and 2 ACAs, along with dedicated receptionists and admin staff which creates a supportive and knowledgeable environment.
The practice is well equipped with Ultrasound Scanners, Digital and Dental X-ray, Endoscope, and an idexx lab suite.
You will be surrounded by a mix of experienced and younger colleagues, always ready to lend a hand or share insights on challenging cases. Working with our client means not just a job but a camaraderie that comes with shared laughter and support.
Life on the Shetland Islands offers more than just a fulfilling career. With a myriad of outdoor activities such as hill-walking, kayaking, cycling, and wild sea swimming, there's always something to look forward to. Wildlife enthusiasts will be thrilled with the chance to spot orcas in their waters throughout the year, and the mesmerising Northern Lights during the dark winter months add a touch of magic.
The ideal candidate is a friendly and enthusiastic mixed Vet who thrives on the challenges and variety that being an Island Vet brings. Join our client in their commitment to providing the best service to the people and animals of Shetland. Whilst our client is currently seeking a full-time, mixed Vet, they will welcome enquiries from those interested in small animal practice or part-time positions.
Whether you are an experienced professional or a new graduate, they are eager to welcome individuals who share a passion for veterinary care. Discover the unique opportunities and lifestyle that come with being part of this team on the picturesque Shetland Islands.

• Full time - 4 day week
