A little about Leominster Animal Hospital,

We are a thriving small animal GP, seeing canines and felines. We currently have three full time doctors, usually with 2 working each day. Most of our support staff prefer to work four 10-hour shifts each week (8am to 6pm) to help with work-life balance, however we are looking for a part time employee for mainly 3-6pm shifts.

We mainly see wellness and diagnostic appointments every 30 minutes and each doctor does have a dedicated surgery day during the week where we see routine surgeries, dental prophylaxis and oral surgery, mass removals etc.

We pride ourselves on educating clients and providing the best medicine possible, while ensuring that our patient’s visit is as stress free as possible.

Our hospital currently utilizes Avimark for PIMS. Idexx for in house and reference lab.
