Weekend Cover
The successful candidate will join the emergency clinic team for daytime weekend shifts. This position is well-suited to a vet who thrives in a fast-paced, well-supported environment, delivering essential and urgent care.

During the week, you will work a healthy work-life balance while still practicing high-quality veterinary medicine.
Typical weekday hours are from 8:30am to 5:00pm, but PDSA is open to discussions around working days and hours to accommodate individual preferences.

Both Hospitals are modern and well-equipped, featuring:
