Lizzie, our RVN who is moving back home to Australia, kindly shared a few words on why New Malden Vets is the place for you: "My experience working at New Malden Vets has been absolutely fantastic. I started here just over a year ago, and from the first day I felt very welcomed by the team who showed me how things were run and made me feel a part of the group very quickly. I'm very sad to have to leave my role here so soon, but my situation has meant that I'm returning to Australia. Were it not the time for me to move back to my home country, I would have liked to have worked here for many more years as a part of this truly lovely group of people. Everyone is so approachable and caring, and the atmosphere of the team is always of kindness and respect towards each other. The wonderful team here are always keen to help out and look after each other, and that has been a particular takeaway for me."
