Veterinarian

Most vet jobs promise a lot. Ours delivers something different.

Not a corporate script. Not a tick-box culture. Just a genuinely independent practice where the people who lead it work alongside you every single day and where your voice actually shapes how things are done.

If you’ve been waiting for a role where you grow clinically, work with an awesome bunch of people (yes, we’re biased but we are still right) and feel like you truly belong - keep reading!

Rowan Veterinary Centre is an independently owned, nine-vet small animal practice with a clear sense of who we are and what we stand for. Our directors, Ruth Mackay and Drew Milner-Dunn, aren’t hidden away in an office, they work in and on the business alongside the team, every week.

• Be Brave - speak up, challenge the norm, try new things
• Growth - your development is built into how we work, not bolted on
• Respect - for patients, clients, and every member of this team
• Making a Difference - to the animals we care for and the people around us
• Creating Belonging for All - because you should feel at home here

• Purpose-built hospital in Warton with surrounding green space, plus a renovated branch in Blackpool
• Separate dog and cat clinical areas; cat-friendly accredited
• Dedicated operating theatre, imaging suite, and dental theatre with X-ray
• Visiting orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeon and specialist cardiologist
• Certificate holders (and those working towards certificates) in dentistry, surgery, ophthalmology, pain management, behaviour and medicine - all supported by Rowan
• Inpatient care on site, with case continuity we’re exceptionally proud of

• 20-minute consults as standard
• A well-structured day with protected and respected case management time
• Morning, afternoon and evening rounds - collaboration is how we think, not an afterthought
• A psychologically safe culture where questions, ideas and feedback are genuinely welcomed
• Regular check-ins and appraisals with development built in - not just reviewed, acted on
• An experienced, trusted RVN nursing team who take patient welfare as seriously as you do
• A considerate client care team that strives to make a difference every single day

This role is for you if…

• You want to grow clinically and have a practice that actively supports that
• You’re looking for independence, clinical freedom and a team that trusts you
• You value genuine relationships with colleagues, not just a place to clock in and out
• You’re motivated by making a real difference to patients and clients, not just throughput
• You want to feel like you belong somewhere - not just work somewhere

We welcome applications from experienced vets at all career stages. Our independence means we can move quickly and shape the role around the right person.
