Embark on a fulfilling journey as a Veterinary Surgeon specialising in Exotics and Small Mammals in a picturesque city in Devon. The practice is seeking a dedicated professional to enhance their existing service, offering comprehensive care to a diverse range of animals, including first opinion and referral clients, as well as 3 local wildlife collections.
