Find a supportive team and a world of opportunity at Moy Vets!
Are you looking to progress, follow your interests and develop your skills with the support of a friendly, experienced team? Come and join us at Moy Vets! You'll be part of a team who have an established culture of support, where we value feedback and open communication in our dedicated weekly meeting time. We understand the importance of work-life balance, which is why we offer flexible rota patterns and working hours that adapt to your lifestyle at any stage of your career. Our standard 20-minute consults allow for excellent client communication and thorough workups. Additionally, we provide a rotating or set day off per week, tailored to your preferences. We work the weekends on a rota basis to provide continuity of care for our clients by providing our own OOH service from our purpose built facilities.
We are situated in the beautiful Lancashire county, just an hour away from The Lakes District, Yorkshire Dales and short drive to the AONB Trough of Bowland. Just over an hour to Manchester and Liverpool, and we have beaches on our doorstep. Plenty to do and a choice of rural or urban living. Accommodation can be provided if needed as well.
A typical full-time role would involve working a 4 day week, however, we are equipped to consider any flexible working pattern you might want, but are looking for someone willing to work a share of our OOH's rota. You will always be accompanied by a nurse when on call, and paid a call out fee for each call in addition to your salary. For example, one of our vet team members works a 2 week on, 2 week off pattern, others have a set day off a week for childcare reasons. Weekday shifts are typically 8:30am–7:00pm, Saturdays are 8:30am–12:30pm, Sundays are 11:00am-12:00pm, along with the OOHs rota.
To excel in this role, you'll need prior experience, empathy, and excellent communication skills. We are keen to hear from vets with an interest in orthopaedics, dermatology, or ophthalmology, as we'd love to grow these services further, however it's not essential. We encourage development across all of our team, so Certificates and other CPD are actively supported. One of our team recently completed a certificate in Medicine, and one is about to start a Surgical Certificate. We provide a supportive environment to help you thrive and grow alongside our passionate team.
Excellent equipment for excellent care
At Moy Vets, you'll be part of a well-established practice with a friendly and multicultural team.

We also welcome visiting specialists to enhance our expertise.
Meet like-minded professionals
We are expanding our team, and hope you will be joining our multi-cultural, supportive team. We have 9 vets, coming from the UK, Scotland, Italy, Romania, Latvia, Croatia and The Netherlands.

We have 2 VetGDP advisors in our clinic, so can support any recent graduates with this. We are a registered Nurse training practice and regularly host EMS students.
We have 13 RVNs, 2 SVNs and 3 VCA's. Our reception and admin support team consists of 20 people. We support local charities through various initiatives, like food collections for our local charities.
