An independent, newly established equine practice based in Ipswich is seeking an Equine Veterinary Surgeon to join its growing team.
The practice is open to appointing either one full-time vet or a combination of full-time and part-time support.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a start-up practice with a strong, established client base covering approximately a one-hour radius.
