CVS Group New Graduate Vet Programme – Farm Animal - Opportunities in Northern Ireland
Are you seeking a dedicated farm animal only position?
Are you looking for a complete graduate programme, designed by experienced vets, which will fully support you in your first years in practice?
The CVS New Graduate Programme is tailor-made, offering you the right support network in practice by ensuring you have an experienced VetGDP Adviser working alongside you.
