Current vacancies

Veterinary Surgeon

With one of our vets making the decision to return home to the Netherlands, we have an opportunity for a new vet to join our team.  This position can be mixed or predominantly farm based.

Northvet is a long-established practice, very much part of the local community. Our sociable team has a great balance of youth and experience. We are a pro-active independent practice with excellent facilities, and we take pride in providing a high quality service to our clients.

The Role

We are looking to add another experienced vet to our team.  Farm work is mainly beef suckler with sheep and the practice is genuinely mixed.  We have 3 or 4 vets working on small animals each day with everyone else covering farm visits etc.  We provide a 24-hour service to clients on the Orkney Mainland plus the smaller Islands. During springtime fast boats take us safely to attend calvings and caesareans on the Isles.

The successful candidate will bring additional experience to our team. He or she will be a team player and a good communicator.
