To the Vet Who's Seen a Few Things,
If you've already clocked a few years in practice and you're looking for a new kind of normal - where the team has your back, your lunch break is more than a myth, and the snacks cupboard is always stocked (and so is the conversation around better ways to do things) - we might be the right fit.

At Berwick Veterinary Hospital, we're not just a clinic - we're a proudly independent, ASAV-accredited GP Hospital of Excellence that's been trusted by the local community for over 30 years. Our clients stick with us, our team does too (some have been here longer than the autoclave), and our caseload is the kind that keeps you interested without breaking your soul.

We're growing and looking for an experienced vet to bring their insight, curiosity, and clinical strength to the team – and maybe contribute a baked good or two along the way.

🩺 What You'll Be Walking Into:

This isn't just a job - it's a workplace where you'll actually want to show up. Our team is genuinely supportive, our clients are loyal (and growing), and our culture strikes the balance between professional excellence and not taking ourselves too seriously.

We're proud of our tight-knit team who bring a variety of skills and backgrounds to the clinic - there's always something to learn here. That said, we're not stuck in our ways. We love hearing new ideas. If you've got a better way to do something - we're all ears.

You'll be part of a clinic that prioritises people as much as pets. We've built a culture on mutual respect, clinical excellence, and humour - we have annual awards for excellence (and also downright stupidity). Don't fret, the latter is usually taken out by our boss each year. It's the kind of team that actually likes working together (weird, right?) - and always has each other's backs.

⏰ Our Version of Work-Life Balance:

• Full-time = four 10-hour days, with a fair mix of morning and evening shifts
• Need flexibility? Let's talk. We get that life doesn't always fit neatly into a roster 🫠
• No on-call. No Sundays. No public holidays. Ever
• Work a Saturday? Have a long weekend ✈️
• Work 36 hours per week, get paid for 38 - The chance to breathe (or catch up on those histories you've been avoiding)

Support & growth, minus the fluff

• Mentorship? Absolutely.
• Career progression? We'll back you.
• Want to explore a new special interest (bonus points if it's birds - we'll happily handball 😜) – we offer study leave, generous CPD allowance, AVA membership, and regular in-clinic training (yes, there's always food involved 🤤).

👌Our nursing team: Certified Legends

• Skilled, experienced, and actively involved in case management.
• You'll work in dedicated vet/nurse pairs for continuity, collaboration, and sanity.
• We deliver gold-standard care, backed by all the toys you'd expect - and a few extras.
• Oh, and did we mention our dedicated receptionist? She's the glue that holds the clinic together – with an effortless ability to balance client care and team support, and a sixth sense for when morale needs a lift – just when you think the day's going sideways, she quietly pulls a perfectly timed homemade treat from her freezer stash (baked on her day off, of course).

🌈 We value what you value.

Whether you're a parent returning to practice who needs flexibility, or an experienced vet wanting a fresh start without all the corporate fluff - we'll meet you where you're at. We're open to shaping a role around the right person.

❓Who are we looking for?

🦄 We're not chasing unicorns (we've got plenty of those). Just a great vet, who cares.

Ready? Let's do this.

If you've read this far, you're either interested or hungry. Either way, email us, call us, or just turn up – we'll be ready.
