About the Practice & Location 📍

Located in the historic and vibrant Oxford area, this independent practice operates across two modern sites. They pride themselves on providing top-tier care exclusively to feline patients. By maintaining a “cats-only” environment, they offer a calm atmosphere for patients and a highly specialized clinical setting for staff.

About the Role and Team 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Collaboration is at the heart of this clinic. The first-opinion and referral teams work closely together, meaning you’ll benefit from internal case discussions, ward rounds, and bespoke CPD opportunities.

• Balance: 20-minute consultations are standard, with dedicated gaps for admin and lab work.

• The Rota: 1 in 4 weekends (10 hours total consulting over 2 days).
