We are looking for a caring, enthusiastic vet to join our friendly team based at our Duns branch.

We get the best of both worlds being based in the beautiful rural Scottish Borders but within an hour’s drive of Edinburgh.

Salary will be dependent upon experience, but the total package would include the benefits listed below.

The practice has a number of assistants enrolled in certificate programmes (with study time provided) to actively promote career progression.

The role would suit a confident vet who enjoys working as part of an experienced, enthusiastic team, providing excellent clinical care and who is keen to develop their skills.
