Aston Clinton is a VN training centre with a friendly team made up of 5 vets, 7 nurses, and 5 receptionists. We work a 4-day week with only one working weekend in five, and two long weekends off in five. No on-call. 

Full-time salary package up to £55,000 per annum depending on experience to include:

• - 5 weeks' annual leave plus bank holidays

This role works for our 4-day week with 1:4 weekends. 

We also offer relocation allowances should you move more than 50 miles from your current home address.

We can also support Certificates of Sponsorship for a Tier 2 (General) Visa if you meet the criteria and are eligible to register as a veterinary surgeon with the RCVS upon arrival in the UK.

Skills and experience:

The ideal candidate will have an excellent work ethic and a friendly understanding attitude towards clients, as client interaction and communication is key.

The ability to work without the need for supervision is important as the sole charge is required at the weekends, although plenty of support is available during the week from our experienced team to help develop skills and knowledge.

Special interests are welcome and encouraged!
