Veterinary Surgeon - Up to £60,000 - South Shields - Prestigious Small Animal Practice

Join Our Passionate Veterinary Team!

Are you a compassionate and dedicated Veterinary Surgeon looking for a fulfilling role with great work-life balance? We’re seeking a talented individual to join our team in South Shields Quays, where you’ll have the opportunity to provide exceptional care to a wide range of small animals and the occasional exotic pet.#

What We Offer:
  • Competitive Salary: Up to £60,000 per year, based on experience.
  • Flexible Hours: Full-time or part-time roles with a 4-day week - leaving you with more time to spend on what matters most outside of work!
  • Weekend Flexibility: Only 1 in 3 weekends with morning shifts.
  • No Out-of-Hours: Say goodbye to night shifts – we offer a supportive and predictable schedule with no on-call duties.
  • Supportive Environment: Work alongside a close-knit team that values collaboration, professional development, and a positive work culture.
  • Varied Case Load: While the focus is on small animals, you’ll also have the chance to work with the occasional exotic species, expanding your skillset and experience.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Consultations and Diagnostics: Perform routine check-ups, assess patient health, and provide recommendations for treatments and care.
  • Surgical Procedures: Undertake surgeries, from routine neuterings to more complex cases, ensuring the highest standard of care.
  • Client Communication: Build strong relationships with pet owners, offering support and guidance on health and wellbeing.
  • Emergency Care: Handle urgent cases in a calm, efficient manner, without the added pressure of out-of-hours shifts.
  • Team Collaboration: Work alongside a dedicated team of veterinary nurses, support staff, and experienced vets to deliver outstanding patient care.
  • Record Keeping: Maintain accurate and up-to-date patient records, ensuring legal and medical standards are met.
Who We're Looking For:
  • Qualified Vet Surgeon with RCVS registration.
  • Passion for Animal Welfare: A genuine love for animals and a commitment to providing high-quality care.
  • Strong Communication Skills: Able to engage with clients empathetically and effectively.
  • Team Player: Collaborative, flexible, and always ready to support colleagues in providing the best care possible.
  • Experience in Small Animal Practice: Experience in basic veterinary care, including surgery and diagnostics, is essential. Some experience with exotics is desirable but not necessary – we’ll provide support and training.
Why Join Us?
  • A vibrant and supportive team environment where your growth and wellbeing are prioritised.
  • A clear pathway for career development with access to training and mentorship.
  • A location with easy access to coastal walks, parks, and the beautiful surroundings of South Shields, perfect for enjoying your time off.
