Veterinary nurses and
Veterinary care assistants
Our exemplary team of veterinary nurses and
veterinary care assistants are the backbone of
our practices.
Due to the size and vast array of species that
SVG looks after, our nursing and veterinary care
team are constantly kept on their toes.
Our veterinary nurses have a vast expanse of
knowledge between them, with many having
their own particular interests and specialities.
Some of our nurses have a keen interest in
exotics and farm and equine, whereas others
prefer small animals, including best breeding
practices and puppy training classes. We really
do offer an incredibly varied workload at SVG
and are keen to harness any particular interests
and specialities our members have.
The role of the veterinary care assistant really
has changed over the years, with many of
the responsibilities previously undertaken
by veterinary nurses now being under the
veterinary care team. The primary task of
the veterinary care team is to look after the
patients that are admitted under our care,
ensuring they are clean, comfortable and made
to feel at home at times when they can be in
severe distress.
The great thing about being in the veterinary
care team at SVG is the opportunity to progress
and qualify as a Registered Veterinary Nurse
through our sister company the Central College
of Animal Studies, where your workload is split
between the practice and the classroom.
SVG could open the door to your dream career!

Night veterinary teams
If you are more of a night owl than an early
bird, working as a night veterinary surgeon or
night veterinary nurse might be the perfect fit
for you.
On the night shift, our night veterinary
surgeons and veterinary nurses care for
the practice’s in-patients, continuing their
treatments as needed, as well as taking on
the wide range of emergency cases that might
come through our doors.
Many veterinary surgeons and nurses enjoy
working night shifts as a fantastic opportunity
to build their career. By working regular night
shifts they often see better case continuity,
with the great satisfaction of seeing an animal’s
treatment through from start to finish. Those on
the night shift may see many different aspects
of veterinary medicine which they wouldn’t
normally encounter on a daytime schedule.
Although many shifts see our teams working
through the night, our practices each include
overnight accommodation for when there is
opportunity for rest. Our kitchens are kept
stocked with snacks, teas, coffees and other
refreshments to keep them going throughout
their shift.
Our veterinary surgeons and nurses are
supported by a dedicated team of care Stowe Veterinary Group offers a variety of
assistants, student nurses and receptionists, opportunities across its practices for those who

Exotics and Zoo
Clinical directors/
Veterinary surgeons
As one of the largest independent groups of
practices within East Anglia, you might not
be surprised to learn that our specialities
also stretch to exotic and zoo animals. The
quality of exotic pet medicine has increased
dramatically over the last decade, and so
have we!
There are endless opportunities for you to
expand your knowledge and improve your
skills. With such a high mortality rate within the
first year of ownership of exotic species, one
of the key areas of responsibility within this
field is to empower our clients with husbandry
advice and knowledge to ensure their exotics
are cared for correctly.
Our practices are fully equipped to deal with
the handling, examination, diagnostic and
surgical care of exotic species. So, if reptiles,
amphibians, rodents, fish, invertebrates and
birds are more your thing, you are bound to be
in good company at SVG.

Referrals
As part of our work to expand the services
that we can offer our clients, we continue
to welcome advanced practitioner to our team.
This has included an experienced
ophthalmologist, who now provides a wide
range of advanced procedures to help small
animals suffering from eye problems. They
will also offer CPD and training to other team
members. This addition has been a vital part
of our eye clinic in Moreton Hall Veterinary
Centre which now benefits not only from new
expertise, but also from specialised equipment
imported from around the world.
Our dermatology services have also been
developed by a new dermatology certificate
holder that has joined us at Stowe Veterinary
Centre. This has expanded the services that
our in-house dermatology clinic can provide,
enabling us to offer a referral service to treat
small animals with complex skin problems.

employment of an advanced practitioner with
considerable experience.

All about
Suffolk
With its charming countryside, award-winning

giving you the country lifestyle but access to
vibrant urban amenities.
A thriving social scene
Located in the heart of Suffolk, SVG practices
are a stone’s throw away from natural beauty,
rich cultural heritage and a thriving social
scene. Explore idyllic Framlingham, home of
‘Castle on the Hill’, admire wildlife from the
banks of the River Orwell, or feast on
fish and chips at Aldeburgh. Some of the
county’s most-loved attractions include
Banham Zoo, Jimmy’s Farm and Newmarket
Framlingham Castle Racecourse, not to mention the acres of
unspoilt landscape and wildlife.
With its links to the coast, Suffolk is a mecca
for food-lovers, and you will be spoilt for
choice when it comes to the vast array of cafés,
restaurants and wood-beamed taverns on
offer. Food festivals run throughout the year,
including the Aldeburgh Food Festival
and the ever-popular Bury St Edmunds
Food & Drink Festival. You will also find
