Job description

• 5 weeks leave a year plus bank holidays, rising to 6 weeks leave a year after first 5 years of service (1 extra day per annum based on service), options to buy/sell holiday to a maximum of 7 weeks
• Flexibility for full or part time available
• 5 days CPD, certificates encouraged
• CVS Equine – a great network of equine clinics across the UK, with whom we all collaborate and provide internal CPD/support and share ideas from QI/Clinical and Wellbeing meetings
