Overview

Doorstep Vet is an award-winning mobile practice bringing high quality veterinary care to our clients’ homes in and around Newcastle-upon-Tyne. We opened our wheels in 2022 and have grown rapidly – we are now a highly experienced team of 8 with two vans and an office next to Newcastle Airport. The practice is independently vet-owned.

What makes us special? The client- and patient-focused culture of the practice and the reputation we’re building for this. This philosophy has helped us win the Best UK Vets “Best in County” award 2025 (Tyne & Wear).

Our mobile setup is highly professional, with two modern, fully equipped consulting rooms that would rival that of any standard practice. We have the support of a large practice group in Newcastle for urgent or out-of-hours care. Contextualised care is a big part of our ethos. Our service is highly personal, very professional and tailored to each client and their pet.

We may be small, but we’ve achieved a lot in three years, including:

• Triple Petplan nomination in 2024 and a clean sweep across all categories in 2025
• UK Startup Awards 2024 Finalist
• Shortlisted for the 2024 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards
• Named Best Vets in Tyne and Wear, 2025

Role Description

Due to continued growth we are now seeking an additional vet to join our team. This role could be adapted to part or full time depending on the individual. This is a consulting-only role. With our longer appointment times (up to 30 minutes as standard), this role would suit someone who loves meeting people as well as caring for their pets, and who relishes the opportunity to go the extra mile for their patients and clients.

Consults only – no operations

100% mobile with back up of large practice group locally

Dedicated team of office support staff

Modern, fully equipped consulting room – probably nicer than anything you’ve worked in before!

Average 30 minute consultations, with appointments between 8:30am-5pm

Working in the van as part of a two person team (usually with an RVN)

Independent and vet-owned

Monday to Friday - no weekends, bank holidays or out of hours

Full and part time applications welcome

We choose who joins our team carefully to ensure it’s a two-way fit. We want whoever takes up the role to share the same empathy and passion for customer and patient care as we do. In return you’ll find like-minded, supportive and genuinely friendly colleagues who’ll help make each day a more fulfilling experience.

If this sounds like it’s for you, you’ll be invited to spend a couple of hours in the van to understand what we’re about and to ensure you’re happy with it – we did say it’s a two-way process after all…

Up to £65,000 per annum dependent on experience*
