Experienced Farm Vet Wanted — South Devon Needs You!
Position: Farm Vet, 4 day week, 1:5 rota, varied caseload, good kit, great team.
Location: Situated slap bang between the moor and the sea so you can enjoy the best of what South Devon has to offer.
Practice: South Moor Vets – proudly independent, progressive and - in our humble opinion - great fun to work for.
We are South Moor Vets, an independent, mixed practice nestled between Dartmoor’s rugged charm and the stunning South Devon coastline. We’re on the lookout for a seasoned farm vet (ideally with 5+ years under their belt) to join our farmer focused team of 7 FTE Vets, 4.5 ATTs and 2 AI Technicians. The post is a four-day week (32hours), which we count as full time with a rolling or fixed day in lieu.
We have a varied client base to suit all farm vet palates: dairy herds, beef and sheep systems (upland and lowland), calf rearers, smallholders, farm parks, a zoo and more than a few sanctuaries. We can truly say no two days are ever the same.
We have a civilised 1:5 OOH rota and there is always a fellow farm vet on the end of the phone if you do need another pair of hands. The equine vets have even been known to lend a hand if you’re in dire straits!
Across our four branches we have access to all the usual farm kit, as well as:
- Portable hydraulic foot trimming crush
- VaDia milking time test kit
- In-house lab, Total Vet, scanners, and access to our small animal and equine kit, including digital imaging equipment.
- The brains of multiple experienced certificate holders (even at 2am!)
As well as a fantastic team who love what they do, a beautiful location and all the gear, we have some other great employee benefits including
- Competitive salary
- Company vehicle + fuel allowance
- CPD encouraged (certs very welcome)
- Private healthcare
- Enhanced sick, maternity & paternity pay
- Cycle to work scheme and electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme
If you’re looking for a role where clinical freedom, team spirit and a proper work/life balance still exist we would love to hear from you.
