Salary up to £75,000 DOE

Relocation Allowance up to £5000


Situated in the heart of Herefordshire, our practice benefits from a truly exceptional location, serving both the historic city of Hereford and the picturesque village of Ewyas Harold. This area offers the perfect balance of vibrant community life and unspoilt rural countryside, with rolling hills, farmland and access to the Golden Valley, Black Mountains and Wye Valley right on the doorstep. Hereford provides excellent amenities, transport links and cultural attractions, while Ewyas Harold offers the charm of a close-knit village with strong local identity and surrounding agricultural communities. If you’re looking to move to the area, please get in touch, we can support with a relocation allowance for the right candidate.

Shape Your Future 


Are you seeking clinical freedom, genuine flexibility, and meaningful career development? At The Laurels Veterinary Group, we have created an environment where you can grow both professionally and personally. Based across two progressive small animal practices in the heart of the Wye Valley, we offer the best of rural Herefordshire alongside the high standards and modern facilities of a forward-thinking veterinary team. Both sites are fully equipped with digital X ray, ultrasound, an in-house laboratory, and laser therapy, providing everything you need to deliver outstanding patient care.
