Our well-established clients  RCVS-accredited practice in East Cornwall is seeking a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join us them a permanent basis.
For over 65 years, they’ve provided outstanding care to pets and farm animals across Devon and Cornwall, and are proud of the strong reputation they have built in the community. The practice spans three small animal branches and two farm branches, with most of the small animal services centered at the Callington site.
